"In mcps, each high school has a school profile that you can access and it shows weighted grade distribution among graduating seniors. Last year I checked ours (Churchill) and was shocked at how many students have over 4.5 - I want to say over 1/4 of the grade. So, most of them probably have 4.0 or close to it unweighted."

Could you please share the link to this info?

Seriously, show the posts saying this. There must be 20 posts by parents of kids with impeccable numbers for every post about a kid with a GPA between 3.0 and a 3.5.

the posters on college confidential are self selecting and will therefore be one the higher end of things.

neither of my kids had a 3.9 unweighted.

My kid (hs) did not and now in college just might (grade inflation IS real)

Our DC has over 3.9 unweighted (all As except three A- (one of which was 8th grade, which apparently counts because it was geometry)...they will have over 10 APs by they time they graduate...but are *barely* in the top 15 percent for their class (large public school).

The grade inflation is real.

What school?

Who cares.

1) People don’t brag about being average

2) Parents with high stat kids are desperate, because they aspire to elite schools and want to know every angle.

Other parents know that ship has sailed. You don’t need a lot of advice in getting into the majority of America’s colleges.

When everybody is special, no one is.
