I'm sure I'll start something, but I went to a private, all girls high school in St. Louis. I took every AP course offered to me and did well. I was graduated with a 3.58. I also received 4's and 5's on all my AP tests, and I went into college with over 30 hours of college credit. Why am I telling you this? Because AP courses DO NOT give you a grade bump at my high school. For example, B is a 3.0, NOT a 3.5. Public high schools inflate their grades, so their graduates come out with a ridiculous 4.2, etc. on a 4.0 scale. Houses DO NOT take this into account during recruitment, or at least my house does not. (My house is considered "top tier".) I have a 3.8 GPA, and the girls who got in from public school are struggling to make grades.
