66 Trending: Asian guy with 4.4 GPA and who was hired by google for a PHD position sues UC for racial discrimination as multiple colleges reject him. Meanwhile black people claiming he's a mediocre student that's why he didn't get in, unlike all those black scholars in those universities -_- (twitter.com) posted 5 months ago by evilplushie 5 months ago by evilplushie +66 / -0 10 comments share 10 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Advanced courses gain an extra point so that someone with a B in AP Calculus 2 isn't outscored by someone with an A in remedial algebra.
So someone with a B in normal algebra gets outscored by someone with an A in arithmetic (or an extra gym class instead of study hall).
What a retarded system.
Back in our day we had to send a full transcript, but I guess college admissions are too dumb now to factor in strength of schedule.
It's mostly just for class standing - who's valedictorian and what not. Transcripts are still sent to colleges, not that it matters nowadays as shown in countless college rejection videos starring brilliant white kids.
