[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I disagree with the assessment. Colleges have regional admissions folks who are very familiar with the grading and rigor at each school in their assigned regions. Many colleges even reweight applicants' GPAs using their own proprietary weights, based on their knowledge of the grading and rigor at different schools. It would be wrong to think that colleges put a B from Sidwell on the same level as a B from Easy A HS. There's no need for PR efforts to provide regional admissions reps with this info they already have. To the extent they're taking a smaller share of area privates' graduating classes, I'm guessing this is because of increased interest in having different types of students, or something else. But I don't know for sure.[/quote] Sounds like a parent who hasn't had a child apply to college yet.[/quote] That was my post, and my kid is at Columbia.[/quote] Bam.[/quote]
