[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So do all kids at walls pretty much have a 4.0 or above? [/quote] I think the vast majority do - (and definitely so if you count "weighted" GPAs).[/quote] I don't see how this arms race ends. If lottery colleges require 4.+...and kids get infinite retakes/do-overs until they make it...how does GPA retain any value/salience as a way of distinguishing applicants from their peers? And if you lose GPA in a test optional world, what objective metrics are left to sort a hyper competitive candidate pool?[/quote] Dartmouth announced this morning that they’re going back to test-mandatory next year. If that is the beginning of a trend, and I think it probably is, then the pressure on GPA will diminish. [/quote] Very glad to hear this.[/quote]
