[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top stats isn’t as important as relative rank as pp noted above.  The school will try to get the top ranked kids into the best schools.  If your kid has great stats but isn’t tippy top focus on top 25 LAC and top 25 universities and then look for best fit.

I am confused… hard to imagine any top ranked kids who are low stats.  What are you talking about?[/quote]

OP here,

I didn't write that.  But my kid goes to a school where they don't weight classes. A student can have a 3.9 GPA and be in the top 10%.  They don't publish ranks, but this is clear from the student profile.

At our local public school, more than half of the kids have GPA's over 4.0, because of generous ranking.

A kid from our school with a 3.9 has a shot at a T25.  A kid with a 3.9 from public does not.  [/quote]

DP this is true for a lot of good privates, at some of them a 3.9 put you among top 5 kids (not top 5%) and you can have your pick of HYP[/quote]
