[quote=Anonymous] My high schooler at BCC tells me there hasn't been a 50% rule in ages. We are also in an area where a LOT of kids tend to be overachievers. I have a kid in college - some of his cohort were rejected from UMD even though they had 4.2 wGPAs, and a great overall profile. It's hyper competitive out there. The kids getting 0s (or previously, 50% for no work) aren't college material to begin with. But MCPS will no doubt work with them to help them graduate high school. Are they seriously going to need that extra understanding of algebra at their non-academic jobs? Probably not, but they might be great at plumbing and own their own lucrative business one day. So I think the question is actually moot. [/quote]
