[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Admissions is serious business and while schools might be required to use comparatively inexperienced reps to cover the country, the top colleges aren’t going to be easily fooled. Many schools have algorithms to determine which high school may practice grade inflation. My alma mater, a very well regarded east-coast private university, assigns each applicants' HS a score from 1 to 5, 5 being most rigor course work/low grade inflation. [b]Plenty of students identified "attending most prestigious public HS" received an unflattering HS score of 2![/b] Don’t fret. There is a reason the top private schools in this area do so well in college placement with schools east of the Mississippi. [/quote] Have to guess that you left out the part about how it varies with whether you took the AP/IB offerings. The 2s would go to the kids who took straight honors classes and no APs.[/quote]
