[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids at Sidwell, for example, would have more than a 4.0 GPA with APs and honors classes at a public school. If rigor is seen as a virtue, and differentiation important, why not just make the GPA scale out of 5.0 (as some NE boarding schools do) to reflect that these are highly selected students being made to work very hard? [/quote] Because college admissions offices already know that selective schools are selective and often don't weight GPA. (I went to a NE boarding school back in the day and that school has & has absurdly good college outcomes, despite not weighting or even calculating official GPAs. I just checked their college profile to be sure this is still true!) [/quote]
