I agree with ses in concept, but don’t believe that the volume of applications actually enables an actual recalculation of gpa (run the math with applications to Harvard, for example, and guess how many hours it will take to recalc scores of every transcript starting, January 2). Since holistic review means that an app is reviewed “in context,” the reader can look at the app and HS and know that a 3.xx or 4.yy at THAT high school is a great transcript (or not). They would also know that a 3.80 from Podunk High is just ok.
