<p>The University of Rochester claims that the average high school GPA of their students is 3.8?!? Doesn't that seem a little high? I'm assuming this is unweighted.....</p>

<p>I honestly don’t know, but it could be accurate from what I’ve seen. There were several in the Class of 2016 with an unweighted 4.0 GPA (as per the Commencement Address in the fall). There are a decent amount in the class with at least one perfect section from the SAT or ACT too. It’s a pretty high academic school.</p>

<p>My son is a sophomore at U of R on scholarship with a 3.4 GPA from Boston University Academy, an academically competitive independent school. He has been on 3.8 GPA now.</p>
