[quote=Anonymous]Be prepared for the onslaught of posters declaiming grade inflation.... Nothing wrong with a B+. It depends on the school and your child. Essentially all the best students at the selective privates will get some B+s, since the straight A student at the selective privates is a unicorn. Public schools that weigh AP/IB and honors classes have many of students with 4.5+ GPAs. A 3.8 GPA student from a Montgomery or Fairfax public school might have reason to worry about admission to UVa or College Park. If you get your sense of these things from College Confidential, it can be anxiety provoking. The same GPA from SFS, StA/NCS, GDS is very competitive for the most selective colleges if the student took a normal course load. The most selective colleges use unweighed GPAs and know how to review the grades at the top independents. [/quote]
