[quote=Anonymous]There is no national standard for GPAs.  GPA median/average varies from school to school.  Between public and private.  Between private and private.  Between public and public.  Each school has its own system.

Now, seeking opinions on what gpa is needed for admissions is pointless unless we know your high school, and have access to your school's naviance.

Even for standandized test, if you come here to ask what is the needed score for admissions, you will likely get 10 different answers (five will be made up stories).

Colleges publish gpa ranges for matriculated students.  For private schools that don't provide gpa on their transcript, their gpa will not be included in the statistics.  So the published gpa (often 4.0 or above) is derived from partial data.

In your case, you are from a small private high school.  Typically they have better college results because the conselors can work with the kids individually.  Follow their advices.  It's a pure waste of time to discuss your case here.[/quote]
