[quote=Anonymous]College admissions departments know which districts (and schools) have grade inflation, and where a 4.0 has to be earned. Unfortunately, with grade inflation, someone who works very hard has no way to differentiate on GPA, so will have to find other ways to do it (high SAT, outside of school enrichment, etc.) I have to agree that a 4.0 at MCPS does not mean what it meant even three years ago, even without the ludicrous 90 = A thing. I'm not sure why this is happening--some combo of Covid, focus on equity, and generally mailing it in. It's just more indication that MCPS continues to fail. I heard the other day about a SLAC that won't admit from BCC anymore, it's sort of a well-known thing. I guess they got burned a few times.[/quote]
