One note about high school GPAs. This will come as no surprise, but there is often a wide disparity in the meaning of an A at one school as compared to another, even another school in the same school district. So a recruit could have a 4.0, but that only tells you part of the story. It isn't at all inconceivable that a 4.0 student could look at the rigors of Stanford -- which begin with AP courses as a junior and senior in high school -- and choose the easier path at another school. To be honest, I can't fault those who make that choice. Stanford isn't for everyone. Thankfully.
