<p>At my school if you were getting Cs consistently in any of your classes, you'd be sent to have a chat with the guidance counsellor and bumped down into the next level of classes, where you'd be expected to be able to get As and Bs, assuming you were actually trying to get decent grades. You got the ones that didn't try and they generally got Ds and Fs and had teachers pestering them to just do that one last assignment so they would graduate and stop taking up classroom space. If you averaged it out it probably came to a C but there weren't really a lot of people who consistently got Cs in every class. I don't even know what my unweighted gpa was, let alone anyone else's, though.</p>
<p>A bit off topic but I've always thought it was dumb that people always proclaim that C is average because I don't think that it is. I guess if you count people who fail, C ends up in the middle, but if you're just looking at people who actually pass there are only 4 grades so none of them can be in the middle...average should be right in the middle between a B and a C. Like a 2.5.</p>
<p>In my school, the top 40-45 have 4.0''s, straight A's, and most are in AP/honors core classes. The inflation is terrible. And we are automatically classified in the "top 1%" so long as our average is above a 4. (no exagerations, and this is a class of 450). Crazy!</p>
<p>The profile doesn't really do anything if the students had to test to get in. If all the students are equally bright then what is the point of a profile?</p>
<p>what exactly is on the profile? Is it just statistics or will it probablhy blatantly say for my school "*All students with averages above 4.0 are automatically ranked in top 1%?"</p>
<p>"Honestly I have a 2250 and was a little embarassed to tell half my friends my score.</p>
<p>That's not grade inflation, that's over-achieving to the maxc0re."</p>
<p>If you were at my school, you probably would have told the whole school your score.
a friend of mine got a score like yours and decided to take it again because a "2300" was too low.
imagine that.
I think there's a grade deflation/inflation at my school depending on the courses you took.</p>
<p>I think that generally, "B" students are considered average nowadays. At my school, there isn't much grade inflation. My GPA is 4.308 and I'm ranked 4/417 and I'm pretty sure that nobody ranked below 10/417 has a GPA above 4.0. My sister, on the other hand, has a 3.0 and is ranked somewhere around 200.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure the gpa range at our school is 3.2-3.8. basically, it doesn't matter. i'm hoping SAT scores are more important than a slight flux here or there because it completely depends on the teachers you get.</p>
<p>a's are impossible and c's are rare. i only know of one person who's ever failed a class but she dropped out of our school...</p>
