[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year's college list is lackluster considering that most of the current BASIS seniors followed a super accelerated STEM oriented curriculum there all the way from 7th grade. Plus, they've had a full-time college counselor practically to themselves. [/quote] curriculum is a small factor in college admissions. GPA and standardized scoring play a much larger role --- so a rigorous curriculum can actually hurt college admission prospects by lowering GPA's.[/quote] College counselor who has not found this with GPA in my work, at least not for elite private colleges. Colleges know that the same HS student's GPA could be significantly higher or lower on roughly the same output at different schools in different parts of the country. I would agree that standardized tests scores play larger role. But from what I've observed, the heaviest weight is given to personal qualities like intellectual curiosity and drive. [/quote]
