To address Southhockeymom’s concerns further… Many academically rigorous BS’s usually don’t calculate or submit GPA of individual students to colleges, so whether freshmen grades are counted or how much weight is put on them is really colleges’ business if freshmen grades are sent to colleges, which they usually are.

Periwinkle gave you another example of grades distribution at another tough school. As you can see, it has a similar pattern as Andover’s, which is that few students reach the very high end (Andover’s 6 is usually a 93 or above), but then not many students reach the deep low end either. I think colleges do appreciate the rigor of these schools. You can check on the matriculation stats from the school profiles as well.
