<p>No, because GPA systems differ from high school to high school.</p>

<p>walking into an interview with dog poop on your shoe is a good idea</p>
<p>ooh yeah true. interviewers are dog-lovers.</p>

<p>Scholarships depend mostly on grades and SAT scores.</p>
<p>false. there are all kinds of scholarships out there :)</p>
<p>the midyear report should be sent out after the 1st semester/trimester</p>

<p>Of all the 'number' factors in your app, most important is your height and weight.</p>
<p>I've never seen an app that asked for height or weight.</p>
