Weighted GPA - funny thoughts

Fast forward to this year. Kiddo and I had a call with a college coach. When asked for GPA and Kiddo said X.Z reflecting all A’s-A-s, the coach’s reaction was like this “Oh…well we tend to see higher GPA’s”. What the hey? Ok - this wasn’t one of the colleges most CC folks are “Jonesing” for, but we did expect to let kiddo get in the words “grades are not weighted”. I think there are so many high schools out there that are weighting grades and giving out A’s, that it is sometimes hard to keep things in perspective. There are people - admissions reps and coaches in other parts of the country who do not know our boarding schools.

This was not my son’s experience at all.

Colleges are very familiar with well known boarding schools.

AOs will be. Coaches may not.
