wow.. I wonder if it was the TO, or if  it was because they selected undecided major.[/quote]

That’s a low weighted gpa. Indicates the kid didn’t take many APs. Honors means nothing. Especially since many schools are doing “honors for all”. You have to take APs[/quote]

Why are you commenting if you don't know the basic of  how MCPS GPA works?

Honors and AP have the same GPA boost in MCPS.

9 APs is a healthy number, even if some are low end. [/quote]

That poster was from Anne Arundel, so the GPA boost is lower. 
You can't compare Anne Arundel Weighted GPA to MCPS GPA[/quote]
