Dean J:
If GPA’s are not used as a comparison from one district to other, how is the achievement in a rigorous course load compared from one district to another? I guess more simply put, how does UVA know the rigor of a high school student if they dont compare it to others (because I am currently taking 4 AP’s and took 2 as a sophomore and I feel this shows to colleges that I have greatly challenged myself by taking these AP’s and fared well in them)</p>
<p>Edit: I am also curious to how GPA and course load are used to compare students within the same district?? is there any difference?</p>
