[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private high school: no phones allowed in schools, no study guides provided, no retakes, no dropped scores, no grade inflation, no weighted grades, no “selection from” (full books assigned), several assigned papers a year and 8-10 pages each. Average gpa is 3.7. Average SAT is over 1500. This is why colleges still like feeders. [/quote] Caveat, that may be your kid's private high school, but not all private schools have all these same policies. Colleges (supposedly) consider the context of the high school in admission decisions, but be aware that this is not always the case, especially at large public universities less familiar with the particular high school. Many will just take the GPA off the transcript without considering context as much as they say they will. Just a warning.[/quote]
