<p>I agree with every pt. except the last. </p>
<p>If GPA is 3.4 uw and 4.3 w it does mean that they are taking harder courses, that would be why they are over the 4.0 score.</p>
<p>However, as stated earlier in the thread some schools are not making their own AP courses which bother me.</p>
<p>Side note, a good friend took great pride her sonwas given NHS and top 10%grad. cords for ranking because of his GPA. ( My s has been NHS/BETA his entire acad. life — only non honor/College Board AP approv. was state mandated elect, PE, comp., etc) He never took 1 AP or Honors. finished w/st mandated req. (4 Eng, 4 Hist, 3 Ma, 2 Foreign) rest were horticulture, weightlifting, teen living which he got 4.0’s in, that would be why he made NHS and top 10%.</p>
