[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our college counselor (competitive private north of DMV) says being in top 10% is important, not grades themselves. This tracks with stats of colleges reporting how many students in top 10%. For example, northwestern is something like 98%(?) and Wash U “just” ~86%(?). Just like SAT scores, colleges won’t want to admit kids who will lower their average [/quote] For high schools that do not rank, how do we know whether kids are in top 10%? Admission directors repeatedly said they don't compare kids from the same school, but only compare each kid to the reported school profile to understand the rigor and offering. This is what they meant by holistic review.[/quote]
