<p>we’re at what i call a public-prep. 100% of the kids go to college, 85% to a 4 year school, and bunches to top 20 colleges. and what I’ve heard from the HS counselors and one college admissions officer (I know, that’s a rare event) is that they “know” the HS, and how it’s academically rigorous. </p>
<p>my guess is that it’s used as a mental tip in your favor in the mind of the admissions officer, but not actually a gpa recalculation</p>
