[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools like NCS that deflate grades and don’t weight any grades are finding that a lot of seniors are WL or rejected. This is what you are seeing. The last 2 years kids at schools with high GPAs, tons of APs and lower test scores (that are not submitted) are getting into top 50 colleges they never would have even applied to before. As a result, kids with much lower GPAs (from private schools like NCS) and high test scores are being WL or denied and going to the next tier down schools. It is the reality. OP, with all As your daughter must have a very high GPA so she should do fine if top 50 is the goal. [/quote]

The colleges know the grading scales at the different schools and thus know for example, what a 3.8 at NCS is as compared to a 4.5 at Whitman.  So, no.[/quote]

NP. Actually yes. While the colleges do know that, it helps their rankings if incoming admits have high GPAs. So schools that don’t grade inflate do hurt admissions for their kids. [/quote]

X100 I am not saying they need to inflate the grades, but maybe not DEFLATE the grades. NCS is only hurting their students, especially with no AP or honors GPA bump.[/quote]
