[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand. If it “takes blood, sweat, and tears to earn a 3.9 at NCS,” how did so many NCS girls go to ivies? It’s not adding up. What is the gpa at NCS for ivy admit?[/quote] Because colleges are aware that different schools have different grade distributions, baseline rigor, etc. I went to a NE boarding school that didn't have class rank or GPA, but I would bet no one had the equivalent of a 4.0. Getting a mix of As and Bs in your first couple years was considered awesome. Out of curiosity, I looked up their college profile just now and they indeed still don't do rank/GPA, but still send like 8+ kids to Harvard ever year. All to say, colleges look at grades in context.[/quote]
