[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. DC is taking Calc BC right now after earning a B+ last year in math 4. Some of his friends are taking AB. DC actually said he was glad that he chose BC in spite of the class being harder. His AB friends have mostly complained about busywork/project that take a lot of time.[/quote]

Not OP. For the poster above, just wondering if the grades have become better in BC compared Math 4 for DC? Also, i am wondering how the top colleges view TJ  B+ grade?[/quote]

Re: grade perception--most colleges that get a number of TJ applications will have the same admission officer review all the applications together as a group (and that AO usually has reviewed TJ apps for years).  No easy answer but one or two B+ in 4 years probably won't hurt an applicant since it's rare to see an unblemished transcript out of TJ.  Also, grades are only one part of the applicants story.  The coursework taken, teacher recommendations, ECs, internships and volunteer activities and student essays will have a greater impact on whether a student gets admitted than a B+ in Math 4 or 5.  One of my D's friends last year got into Stanford even though his GPA though above average wasn't extraordinary.  He was just a genuinely super nice kid who was very involved with TJ ECs and sports and had many in the TJ community rooting for him.  Those qualities must have come through in his teacher recs and his essays.  [/quote]
