They know the projected performance based on your school and GPA. If you’re applying with a 3.5 GPA and they pull the records of the last three students from your high school with a 3.5 GPA, if all three graduated with honors that’s a good thing and you’re more likely to be accepted than if all three were force dropped based on performance.

If there was a high school trying to game the system by giving out high grades inconsistent with other high schools, that school’s students would have performed relatively poorly at Tech and Tech would require a higher GPA from that school.
