[quote=Anonymous]Former admissions officer here.... would love to shed some light. Every university knows the schools - public and private- that they work with exceptionally well. They know which schools are inflating grades, and aren't comparing private apples to public oranges. The public kid is only compared to another public kids from their SAME school. For schools with weighted grades, the first thing we did was unweight them. So your private kid (and mine) aren't at a disadvantage, they are being looked at in the context of their high school setting and what was offered to them there. The admissions teams get the data on the entirety of the class- if we know X school NEVER gives A's, we don't expect to see A's. This is literally the job of the admissions officers. That being said, this year is totally disrupting the system, but it isn't because of unfair public APs classes hurting a private kid. [/quote]
