Reply to "Is SAT score of 1600 good enough to get in D1 college"

quote:
My daughter was asked her unweighted GPA and then what level courses she took.

Yes - the trend at high schools (at least the private ones) is to UNweight the GPA on the transcripts they send to the colleges. The college then has a point system for each individual high school, and that, combined with the difficulty of the courses a student has taken, is how the gpa is factored.

Kind of like comparing two kids from two different leagues. Kid one has a .475 batting average from a weak league. Kid two has a .320 average in a competitive league. Coaches know how to factor those numbers for a more equal reading.

By the way, are there really kids getting 4.5s and 4.8s? My oldest kid just got into a competitive D1/academic school (although not to play sports) with an unweighted 3.5gpa. Don't let the numbers fool you. It's a whole package issue.
