[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do top colleges know that it is harder to get As at TJ vs base high school? Or do they view a 4.6 at TJ the same as a 4.6 at Oakton, Chantilly, Madison etc [/quote] AOs typically compare kids to other kids in the same school first. So a 4.6 GPA kid from TJ would be weighed against a 4.4 kid from TJ, and GPA would be one metric of comparison, along with other activities and "institutional priorities". Along with GPA they would look at class rank, or if the school doesn't rank, use bands - top 1%, top 5%, top 10% of class [/quote]
