Semester grade Bs or year end Bs? Both are on the transcript and several semester B+s were As or A-s by the end of the year.

It’s too easy to get As now if you have to ask how many Bs you can have to get into a public university.

Or that private universities are too expensive.

Depends on the HS and depends on what classes the Bs are in.

We need to bring back the old bell curve where C's where the most common grade and A's were reserved for the truly exceptional.
