<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just had a quick question what top knotch colleges (Ex. Ivy League Schools) would qualify as an "A" grade.</p>
<p>Would Ivy League colleges say an "A" grade is from 90% or higher for high school semester grades? Or would this cutline for an A be different for schools?</p>
<p>Good question</p>
<p>Do you not know the answer to it as well? LOL</p>
<p>Lol yeah. Tbh I commented so that I can see when someone more knowledgeable than I responds</p>
<p>I’m really desperate for an answer to this question…</p>
<p>There are various grading scales. Selective colleges know how to discern top students. Rank and SAT/ACT will be considered along with your transcript rigor. Don’t worry about how they will consider your 90. Your competition is straddling many 3.9s and 4.0s.</p>
<p>Yeah, how your school deals with that 90 is more important now. When it comes to application time, your rank and transcript content will matter more.</p>
<p>I think this is a fairly unimportant question. </p>
<p>As a teacher, I like to use a 90/80/70/60 or 90/80/70/65 grading scale, but if I’m teaching in a school with a 7-point scale, it has very little effect on my grade distribution. What it affects is the way I grade and the way I write tests and quizzes. I’ll apportion partial credit differently. I’ll allot point values to test questions differently. But I get pretty much the same grade distribution. </p>
<p>I doubt I’m the only teacher who thinks this way.</p>
