The high school that my daughter attends changed their grade scale from 93=A, 85=B, 77=C, & 70=D to 90=A, 80=B, 75=C, and 70=D. The reason for the change is they felt that the kids were at a disadvantage against other kids when trying to get into the nations best colleges & univesities. I was told by her guidance department that the private institutions look at the high school academic reputation but the top public institutions only look at GPA and ACT/SAT scores. Some admissions departments now do not require any type of ACT/SAT score. I ask the members of this forum if this is only a select few colleges or is this the wave of the furture.
