[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all know the public school kids who look disadvantaged but are actually wealthy get the advantage in college admissions. Public schools are less competitive environments with no admission requirements, rampant grade inflation, and meaningless class rank largely based on weighted GPAs that are actually just ranking kids based on the number of honors and AP courses they take. Becoming valedictorian in public school is often the easiest path to an Ivy.[/quote] You mean class rank 1, not the person who gives a speech. A hugh portion of school districts don't even have class rank, and there are 26,000 high schools and each ivy decides admissions independently for ~2000 seats. [/quote]
