<p>Hi--
In 10th grade I was accepted to a private high school with very competitive classes and since then ( I am now at the end of my junior year) my gpa hasn't been the best (3.75). Will colleges look at the fact that I attend a well known private high school and got lower grades, or will they compare my gpa to that of someone from public school? Because I know had I stayed at public high school I could have gotten at least a 3.9 (Freshman year I had a 4.16 on a 4.0 scale). </p>
<p>Yes.... have you looked at these boards at all? Next time you have a question that is this simple I would suggest reading through some other posts, just an idea because it'll save you time.</p>
<p>Well there have been many examples on this board of state colleges that use quantative admissions values rejecting kids that got into ivies. Private college that do a full review will certainly take going to a competitive private into account.</p>
<p>I don't think it's a big deal, it seems like a tough private school gets considered under the "difficulty of curriculum" category. (Regular classes at a prep school are about the same difficulty or even harder than honors/AP at a public school.)</p>
