David, another issue is rampant grade inflation.

A lot of high schools have "honors" or "weighted" programs that aren't very challenging. Parents can usually also argue up the food chain in schools until someone gives in and gives their kid an "A". Also, a lot of high school classes are less challenging than they were in the past.

What it means is that most colleges aren't particularly impressed by high school GPAs anymore.
