[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools often don’t disclose relative rank anymore, and if they all get As relative rank doesn’t matter. A lot of public schools had GPAs shoot up in the pandemic and teachers could not fail kids. You think admissions did not notice?

That is why people are asking about public or private. 3.4 uw in a competitive private will have options that a 3.4 won’t have otherwise. [/quote]

What you wrote doesn't change the fact that it depends on [b]the individual school [/b]in question.  Yes, of course an applicant from a rigorous private where a 3.4 uw is a "good" (i.e., above the mean and/or average) GPA in that school's grade distribution range is in better shape than a kid with, say, a 3.8 uw from a public school at which that GPA is about average.  (Even without disclosing rank, high schools still provide grade data/ranges to colleges.)  And yes, colleges know that Sidwell and other elite privates have, per capita, more very talented kids than found in most publics.  But not every private is Sidwell or is stingy in giving As to students -- far from it.  And not every public schools gave out As to more than half the class.  Each applicant and her/his school will be reviewed individually. [/quote]
