[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite what you always hear, I know several non-hooked kids that have gotten into top 20 without top rigor across the board. They all had good GPAs but not top rigor in 100% of their classes. What is your experience? [/quote] GPA is the most important. Rigor can be very subjective. This is from a senior parent who got deferred from Brown ED, UVA, UMich EA. [b]You cannot get into UVA without a min 4.4 [/b]so rigor is secondary [/quote] GPA is much more subjective than rigor! Every school district calculates differently for one thing, so 4.4 from FCPS is not the same as 4.4 from Arlington or Montgomery County. For another, grade inflation is rampant and colleges know it. AP and IB classes have standards that are quantifiable. Also I promise you that it is not true that you cannot get into UVA without a min 4.4 even in FCPS, which I am guessing you are referring to?
