I forgot to add that our honors bio is also not weighted. So it is pretty evenly balanced that frosh/soph honors stem and non-stem aren’t weighted. So when people rattle off their stats with huge Wtd GPAs and kids in our schools have the same courses and have lower wtd gpas- it kind of honestly worries me that comparisons aren’t fair (and then offer suggestions here online of lower reach schools😀) But I am pretty sure the adcoms see that (hopefully!). I always worry our public high school (regarded as one of the best in SoCal) hurts the kids’ chances. Plus we have major grade deflation and only 1 AP offered for the first 2 years. It always amazes me to see kids with more than 10+ APs on here. At our school it is pretty much impossible to do.
