[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does the admissions team organize the applications for review. Are all the applicants sorted first by which high school attend so that that group of applicants are considered together (assuming that the college doesn't intend to take too may students from the same high school)?[/quote]

Yes [/quote]

This is concerning because it allows the schools to potentially push one kid over the other. [/quote]

I suspect (have no proof) that the counselor letters provide all of the behind the scenes data, even for privates that don’t list a GPA or class rank. How else can colleges know who has the highest rigor, etc? Our school profile provides very little useful information. It has to come from somewhere![/quote]

Our private HS requires all kids to take the AP exam for their AP courses or they fail the course.

At a junior class meeting they said our HS is known as very rigorous/strong and mentioned the profile has on AP exam results for the HS that colleges see too.  My son scored 5s on every single AP exam. If you look at the national pass rate or # scoring 5s for certain subjects —it’s abysmally low across the US. Talking with classmates- almost all are scoring 4s and 5s.  This also speaks to school rigor, as well as standardized test scores, curriculum, rigor backed up by test results, etc.[/quote]
