<p>My school has a 95-100 grading scale.
I’ve never seen a school with such a high grading scale. The best school in this state is on a ten point scale.</p>
<p>Putting rigor aside, which also plays into it, this is so unfair. I do have some classes where 85% of our grade is based on tests so it definitely never altered a teacher’s toughness. </p>
<p>I’ve never received lower than a 90 in any given class but have a lower GPA than kids who have also received 90s+. </p>
<p>Is NU aware?..</p>
<p>does it really make a difference? can you change it if you wanted to? are you not going to apply to Northwestern because you don’t think you’re going to get in because of this “unfair disadvantage”?</p>
<p>if the answer is no to those questions, i really don’t see the point of this question.</p>
<p>however, colleges get a secondary school report from your school familiarizing them with the tidbits of your school that they need to know about. ultimately you’re more compared against your own school environment than other schools’.</p>
<p>think of it this way- you will apply and what happens happens</p>
<p>Yes NU is aware.</p>
