This also rewards students for taking fluff classes. My school offered an AP program. You were definitely not getting a 98% average in those classes, and all the students in the class were the top students so curving wasn't going to help you.

Yeah mate I don't disagree, I was just telling you my daughter's experience (she is current 1st yr).
There is no way I would have gotten into the program I graduated in if I had to get in now with my HS marks from then.
AP, yeah I'm not sure I see the value in AP with the current approach to things. Your Transcripts don't say AP, so why take them?
