[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS scored a 36 on the ACT this past February. While we are thrilled, we wonder if his chances to get into a selective school will be hurt by the fact that his GPA is only a 4.1 (private school) and all his public school friends are getting 4.5. DS did not max out with APs and was not even able to take an AP until his sophomore year (only one available). He will be taking 4 APs next year, and that should help. But to be competing against these kids who take multiple APs in their freshman and sophomore years is worrisome, unless truly the admissions people are aware of the grade inflation in MCPS. Frankly, I think standardized test scores are a better indicator of future success. I am sure many of these kids getting 4.5 GPA in public schools are not getting perfect ACT scores like DS.[/quote] Lord, is this “perfect 36 with accommodations” parent? Bless your heart.[/quote]
