[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really reinforces the idea that GPA is the screen nowadays; SAT is relevant only as a plus factor once you make it through the GPA screen. [/quote] Which is so dumb given the variabiiltiy in rigor applied to assinging GPAs. [/quote] It is. But with common app they are getting ridiculous numbers of apps each year. I cant imagine they have enough time to look at each individual transcript, evaluate gpa in context of rigor, the specific grading scale, and class rank. So they just revert to gpa. It punishes kids that take max rigor, and rewards kids that game gpa. We saw that a lot our high school. E.g. lots of kids taking regular physics and then ap environmental science.[/quote]
