[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, If your child was accepted into a highly selective college, how many Bs did they have? If you don't mind, could you name the school? I know this is a silly question as admissions is holistic, but trying to gauge which schools we should target early decision/early action. There are differing opinions in our family![/quote] Seeking these anecdotes will not help you. A single "B" at some high schools puts kids outside the top20%, because the average grade in the honors and AP classes is an A- or an A. If those high schools only get highly selective admissions from the top 5-10%, the kids with a B or so do not have a chance. Students with 2-3 Bs at some rigorous non-inflated high schools can be within the top 5-10%, and if that high school has many unhooked kids into highly selective schools deep into the top 25% of that high school, then the top10% kids with Bs are fine. [/quote] This does not take rigor into account at all. [/quote]
