<p>Well, to start, I am a completely driven person who one day dreams of getting into Stanford! But I am really concerned with my GPA. I go to one of the top ten public schools in the nation and I have a weighted GPA of 4.16 and unweighted of 3.85. For my school, it is pretty good. My school does not rank, but I would bet that I would be in the top 10%. But, I've seen students from other schools have 4.7 GPAs and such, which is impossible to get at my school. I was wondering if colleges (specifically Stanford) take individual high school expectations into consideration. Because I really don't want my 4.16 Gpa that I worked so hard for to be overshadowed by some 4.7 gpa that was easily earned. If anyone could straighten this out for me, that would be great! thanks!</p>

<p>If they are professionals, of course they take into consideration the context of the schools. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be doing their jobs, dontcha think? </p>
<p>Don’t worry. And congrats on your great achievements to date.</p>
<p>Thanks for putting my worries to rest! :)</p>
