from where i am, i’ve been hearing colleges would rather get an applicant with a higher gpa. if both schools offer APs and similar, tough courses, admission officers consider both schools “competitive” and “non-competitive” ones equally. for ex) two kids get a 2200 sat score. kid A has a 3.2 gpa at a competitive hs, where as kid B has a 3.9 gpa at a regular school, kid B will most probably be selected. [considering his ECs…and other extra stuff]
