[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused about the data on here.  Kid has perfect 4.0 unweighted (so that would mean all A’s) and a ton of AP classes if weighted GPA is a 4.7. From a good Montgomery County school. And test scores are 1570, with good extra curriculars (I am going to take that to mean a leadership position and long term involvement in some activity).

And the OOS and In-state admit rates are about 10% difference (40% and 30% roughly).  Wouldn’t this kid have a decent shot?   There are posters who said kids got in with a 1360 SAT and another with a C.

I understand ED would be a surer bet, instate is better, and the kid needs to demonstrate interest, but wouldn’t RD at least be considered a match?[/quote]

I understood the public schools give a 4 for a B in an advanced class. So not necessarily straight As. I know, those of us with unweighted scores don’t get this. That is not straight a stats, right OP?[/quote]

I'm OP. Yes, straight As from MCPS school.[/quote]

Congrats to your kid, OP!  And I am guessing he has significant rigor if weighted is 4.7 at a MoCo public.  My hunch is he has BC Calc and a foreign language to boot. :)[/quote]

OP’s son may have that, so no knock on him, but plenty of 4.0 students have the 4.0 precisely because they did not take BC calculus and AP world language. AP stat and honors Spanish give one’s gpa the same boost in MCPS as do BC calculus and Ap spanish! [/quote]

He has AP World Lang and AP Calc AB, not BC... [/quote]
