[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, a lot of us 40+ yrs old would not be able to get into the same schools today with the same stats we got with in 1996. [/quote]

At my son’s high school, they told us that 80% of the parents sitting in the auditorium would not be able to get into their alma matter today. [/quote]

That’s ridiculous, though. It’s obviously a matter of grade inflation and population growth. It’s not like kids today are any smarter than they were 10/20/30 years ago. [/quote]

How about if you look at class rank?  You see, my 1300s SAT score in the 1980s is not impressive now.  But I was #2 in a class of 500 in a decent MCPS high school at the time.  That would still  be pretty good today and might get me in a top 20 school, right?
Maybe not if you include population growth and the push for 1st generation kids.  [/quote]

Sure. Though it’s worth noting the new SAT is easier than the old one. So you’d probably get a higher score now. [/quote]
