Reply to "Evaluating GPA, high school reputation"

There are several State and Private academic scholarships that do not take into account the caliber of the High School.

My older boy got a 31 on his ACT and had a 3.8/4 GPA.
His GPA did not put him in the top 25% of his class, which was just under 400 kids!

He did get some academic money, but not nearly as much had he been in the top 25%.

A team mate got a 27 ACT and a 3.3 GPA and got twice as much because he was in the top 25% at his High School, which does not have near the academic reputation.

Doesn't seem fair, but that's the way it is!
