<p>Oh no, I mean that we can't get intimidated by this unweighted 3.7 because we don't know how many AP's these kids with 3.7 or above have taken. For all we know, some people with 10 AP's and a 3.5 unweighted may very well be up there. :)</p>
<p>I don't think they make up phony statistics, but my current Euro teacher (who was once an admission officer at Notre Dame) told me individually that sometimes colleges tend to round UP a bit, such as promoting the unweighted GPA as 3.8 instead of the reality - 3.73</p>
<p>Notre Dame has done it along with many other colleges. It's not a crime to round up from 3.73 to 3.8, but it is a crime to make up numbers. Althought this 1 digit gap may not seem to be much, but I know many CCers are spazzing because they are that .1 behind the average.</p>
