[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GPA is meaningless. That's not me saying that. That's the Dean of Admission at UVA. What they really like to know is class rank. If a student is getting significantly outperformed in high school, that student is clearly not top tier eligible. Counselor letters seem to be a way to provide backdoor rank info for those high schools that do not provide it. Let the games begin. And there is no doubt that certain colleges have a track record of taking more (or fewer kids) from particular high schools. [/quote] Actually what Dean J says is that GPA is meaningless as a comparison across students who are coming from different schools because of the different ways those are calculated. They don't say that GPA is meaningless and in fact I got the impression that they care quite a bit about GPA. [/quote]
