The Deuce: To bonbon's point, they are recalculating by (probably) giving a boost to AP/IB/Honors classes.

But the kids who are taking those classes and getting As and Bs in them (hence the >4.0 GPA) are doing better than 31 on the ACT.

Agree the GPAs seem hard to believe if it’s on a 4 point scale. Unless they are intentionally being super-selective for early admissions and deferring the majority of candidates, to boost their numbers.

how do I know this? Because there's absolutely no way the median admitted Auburn out of state student has a 4.25/4.00 GPA. Especially when correlated to that ACT score. Even the early action kids.
