Grades MatterIt’s never too early to start thinking about where you want to go to college. Maybeyou already have a dream school in mind; maybe you’re excited to start researchingschools.Top grades for top-of-the-class studentsNo matter where you want to go, one thing is certain: GRADES MATTER.The average GPA of admitted students in 200 of the most competitive universities is3.81. †Admissions officers believe the strongest indicator of a student’s success in collegeclassrooms is grades. They want to see that you’ve done well in class and challengedyourself along the way. In fact, when considering a potential student, most collegesweigh about 40% of their decision on just two things:More importantly, 98% of the top 200 schools consider GPA to be important and 88%say it’s very important.An A is the grade you need if you are looking at elite schools.1. ACADEMIC RIGOR is one of the most important parts of thecollege application. Selective colleges seek students who challengethemselves and “level-up” their coursework. That means studentsshould pursue honors, AP, and IB courses whenever they areavailable and a reasonable fit with a student’s skills and strengths.2. GPA will carry similar weight with the admission committee, soonce students have selected courses that impress colleges, theyhave to earn the grades that show they can handle the challenge. Itis easier to maintain a great GPA than it is to raise a poor one, so itis key to start early with good study habits, time management, andopportunities to get extra help!We will help you get your A.Open elite opportunities to the future today.†U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS) 2011462.pdf. ‡The average grade point average of entering first-year students was collected by The Princeton Review from colleges from the fall of 2019 through the spring of 2020.45
