<p>Same at our daughter's school, four 4.0 GPAs in the last 20 years. Must be fairly common at the top schools.</p>

<p>soccerguy, the raw numbers are not helpful to a high school student trying to choose a college. Can you adjust the ranking to normalize for the number of undergrads at each school? The percentage of undergrads that make it to HLS is what is meaningful. Thanks.</p>
<p>well... sure I can (as can you), but it is completely useless information. It's no use judging by the number of people there if you don't know how many applied, or how many would have been competitive, etc. These stats really tell you nothing. I included the SAT ranges also to try to illustrate that. No one would agree that Morehouse is better than any of the other 4 schools on the list, yet their HLS number would make them 2nd. Additionally, there are also 200 something schools in the link that nspeds provided.</p>
<p>WM:
3 / 5,540 = 1 in 1,847
1260-1440</p>
<p>Morehouse:
4 / 3,029 = 1 in 757
940-1170</p>
<p>Penn State:
6 / 33,627 = 1 in 5,605
1100-1300</p>
<p>Swat:
10 / 1,461 = 1 in 146
1350-1530</p>
<p>Maryland:
13 / 24,876 = 1 in 1,913
1180-1370</p>
