[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at Wash U.  Jeez.[/quote]

What about that seems surprising? That’s a kid with a top 5% GPA who probably applied test optional. Seems pretty on par right? [/quote]

Yes, it seems unlikely that this applicant submitted that score.

This was the one applicant out of 19 that was accepted to Wash U.  I'd love to see the stats on the 18 who were rejected.

Grade inflation in APS is rampant.  I've had two kids go through and a current rising senior.  Every final grade has been an A.  They didn't work very hard.[/quote]

Weren't there like 52 valedictorians :lol:  :lol: ?[/quote]

All it takes to be a “valedictorian” is a 4.0. It takes more to be top 10%. Collegea dont care about valedictorians, they care about how the kid performs vs classmates. .

Grades (whether inflated or not) dont matter as much as class rank and rigor. Class rank and rigor are highly correlated. Its tough to be too 10% without taking the most rigorous courseload. [/quote]

There were well over 200 valedictorians this year.  It was just shy of half the class.[/quote]

And about half of them were female. That’s as irrelevant as your fact.[b] It’s class rank and rigor that matter. The valedictorian label is meaningless. Colleges dont even know that at the time of application or admission. Whats amazing is the lack of analytical skills on this board.[/quote][/b]
