[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell never leads in this type if thing. They will follow if others start doing it. But, i will bet that the NE boarding schools will go back to grades when their kids college admissions success decreases. You need some objective criteria to measure applicants. There are too many great students everywhere.[/quote] I got an intern application last year from Exeter. 4.8 GPA. Too many extracurriculars for one kid do possibly do. IOW, GPA, meaningless if you can get that much over an A average. Extra-cs--either exaggerated, or the kid is on speed and never sleeps. Something unhealthy is going on at these schools.[/quote] You're lying. Do you know how I know? Exeter doesn't have a 4-point grading scale; it has an 11-point grading scale. https://www.exeter.edu/sites/default/files/documents/Profile%20for%20Colleges.pdf Troll fail. [/quote]
