<p>At the Ivies, they use these academic ratings from 1-4 (1 being the best) and the 4 the worst, in three categories (personal qualities, academics, ec's)
Does Stanford use this system too?</p>
<p>oops </p>
<p>Stanford* :)</p>
<p>hmm... where did you hear about the whole rating system?</p>
<p>on the harvard forum</p>
<p>You sure that applies to all 8 schools?</p>
<p>that cant be right, because i know princeton uses a 5 point scale with 5 being the best and 1 being the worst.</p>
<p>Not all of them use the 4 point scale. I forgot which one, but one of them had a scale of 1-9..</p>
<p>Does it matter? Really?</p>
<p>UPenn and Dmouth are 1-9. Harvard is I believe 1-5. I have never heard of Stanford doing that bu</p>
<p>does it really matter, aren't they all basically looking for the same stuff as far as challenging course work, good grades, etc. except stanford gives athletic scholarships</p>
