What Do Admission Officials Know About Applicants' High Schools?

Your school’s profile must be much more detailed than my C’s.

Ours does not include grade distribution for individual classes, and GPAs are only broken down into .33 increments. The highest GPA block has over 60 students.

The school does not rank.

Only the average ACT composite score is reported. As well as the number of students who participated. No break down by section.

The profile does break down score distribution for AP tests.

Based purely on the school profile, I don’t understand how colleges have enough information to evaluate tippy top students. Especially colleges that don’t see many applications from our high school.
