Hey all newbie parent here on pins and needles.
Do admissions committees read high school profiles and/or have a good sense of academic policies from school to school?
My son is a senior at one of the well known all boys schools in NJ. AVG GPA of grads is about 3.2 but average SAT scores are 1930 and average ACT is a 27 - 28. You don't see this relationship at other schools. Also the grades for AP classes are preweighted.
The school has a very restrictive policy on AP classes where there is a formal application procedure and GPA minimums for the prior class. So for example, unless you had a 93 in Honors pre calc you cannot take AP Calc.
Are peculiarities like this known by colleges because other schools in the area have inflated grades and all you need is a heartbeat to register for AP classes.
Thanks all and God Bless.....
