[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GPA is not a standardized metric, period. We need to stop pretending that it is. Do colleges treat it as standardized? I don't know, though the degree to which they rely on GPA, and even grades more broadly, will vary by college. It's just not a useful comparison between students. Perhaps colleges do have some minimum they look for in terms of grades and rigor, and then move on, though meeting a minimum qualification bar does not reveal which students are more academically (or intellectually) skilled than others.[/quote] My kid went to a private with no APs and no weighting. The school assured us that the Adcomms would know the school and adjust accordingly. That seemed to play out in the admissions process. People seemed to end up where you thought they would.[/quote]
