<p>My dau is a jr, and is in her 2nd year of cyberschooling due to a very intensive ballet schedule. She takes a full complement of courses, and this year is taking a “First Year University French” course through a Canadian university. Well, 1st yr university French in Canada is = to 2nd yr in the US. This course has the advantage of offering oral exams and work in addition to the usual written. There is NO grade inflation- she has a B right now (early on), whereas there is no doubt in my mind she would probably have an A at a less rigorous US distance learning course. Obviously if she continues with a B it will impact upon her GPA. I hope potential colleges realize the rigor of this course- any thoughts?</p>
<p>Can the GC draw attention to this information and how it affects the GPA?</p>
<p>Many colleges recalculate GPA anyway, so it may be worth finding out what grades count at the colleges she is interested in applying to.</p>
<p>How about a letter of rec from the teacher of the class, who should brag about your D’s accomplishments in his/her very advanced, strenuous class that is equivalent to year 2 in other schools?</p>
