[quote=Anonymous]There was a long thread along these lines on the independent school forum. The take-away was that B+ students go on to many, many different colleges of greater or lesser selectivity, depending on many, many variables including the rigor or ease of the the student's high school courseload, whether the high school is known for grade inflation or deflation, scores on standardized tests, strength of recommendation letters, strength of extracurricular honors, prizes and awards, and essays, as well as whether the student is "hooked" (i.e., an URM, athlete and/or legacy). FWIW, B+ student was accepted at the same highly-selective university (USNWR top 5) as his sibs with higher GPAs. He was unhooked, but had everything else going for him. [/quote]
