Everyone who follows CP is flummoxed by the delay in reporting decision because it is algorithm based. There is no human decision making in the process. There are no other factors though, the best we know.

GPA is GPA. Rigor is calculated by courses taken. That is one of issues with using an algorithm…how do you decide whose school is really tougher than the next? That is difficult to assess objectively, and thus not part of the algorithm. What I can say, is that rigorous high schools don’t prepare you to get into college. They prepare you to get out. Any advantage of easier grading is short lived.

Lastly, the one time nature of tests is why it doesn’t count as much in the algorithm as GPA. CP is very liberal in how they use test scores though. You can take them as many times as you want and they superscore across platforms.

Good luck.
