<p>I say this half facetiously, but I wish I could deputize you, GG. Your voice is amongst the most consistent accurate on the boards, and students do themselves a service when they listen to you.</p>
<p>I would be careful reading too much into the thread stats on CC. In addition to this being a unrepresentative pool of individuals, I’ve found instances where information has been exaggeratedly. I won’t say your observations are incorrect - I’ve learned to trust your eye - but I am skeptical that highly selective schools would shift to an emphasis on unweighted GPAs, since that tends to advantage students taking weaker courseloads.</p>
