grade inflation and admissions

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi. I have a 92-93 average. However to combat rising grade inflation my school is on the 7s system of grading, as in
93-100 A
86-93 B
79-86 C
72-79 D
72 and Below F</p>

<p>How will my 92/93 be seen in comaprison to a student from a different school who that uses a traditionaly 90-100 A etc.. system of grading. Will this negatively impact my chances when going up against someone with the same number grade from a school with a more lenient grading scale? I also take only AP classes and have scored 4s and 5s on all of my AP exams, however my school gives little to no boost in grade for taking them.</p>

<p>colleges will take into account the difficulty of the classes you took before they look at your grades. In other words, even if you get a lower grade due to taking ap classes, colleges will reward you, not punish you, for it.<br>
Plus, they will just look at your class rank/decile.
I agree. that grading scale sucks.</p>
