<p>That is by far the most insane thing I've ever read on this board....they do <em>not</em> have a list of classroom grades connected with AP grades, for a huge number of reason, not the least of which is experimental consent. My mother is a doctor in education psychology, which does this type of study (comparing achievement of students), and they have to jump through a huge number of hoops just to get permission to do the study, much less get names of kids, much much less get specific school records. In fact, they don't have specific school records, they can only take results from tests they do themselves. And it isn't just one school district, its 5 different ones in 5 different states. </p>
<p>Also, the ridiculous amount of high schools in the US makes it impossible for "Harvard and other schools go around the nation, researching high schools". What department do you think does this? Admissions? The level of specialty and immense amount of data-collecting required for that research would make it well known, and I've <em>never</em> heard <em>anywhere</em> about colleges going around comparing high schools.</p>
<p>Of course this is all just a big distraction from the main issue: your AP world grade. You've posted about it so many times, and I feel like I've replied twice as many times as you posted. </p>
<p>COLLEGES WILL NOT SEE YOUR GRADE DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS UNLESS YOU VOLUNTEER IT. If its a <em>huge</em> moral issue for you to hold it back, then write it down, and you have an excellent topic for an essay about how your AP World grade sophomore year inspired you to realize just the work in class wasn't good enough to ensure success, you had to make it a personal goal, or some BS like that. If you can't mentally deal with violating morals, and you can't bring yourself to write it on the application, just cancel it. But for God's sake, let this die.</p>
