[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a messed up game they have to play, or they pay the price for it. My kids have switched if the teacher is not good, or a hard grader, even if they'd prefer the class theoretically. Having a C on transcript would have too much of an impact and create huge amounts of stress.[/quote]

A C screws you for T30.[/quote]

So shoot for T75. So much less stress. And honestly, the education is going to be just as good. [/quote]

Will T75 take a student with a C?? I don’t think so… top 75 schools are still selective. [/quote]

My 1200/3.5UW/no honors courses/Tried 1 AP senior year and had a D first semester and B for 2nd semester kid got into all schools they applied to.  6 of them were in the 60-85 range, 3 were in the 85-120.  At two at~80, my kid got 35% of tuition each year.  One school sent a warning to bring the grade up, but even then most likely would not have rescinded the acceptance---they gave them 16K merit (35% of tuition) per year.  None of the other schools cared and majority were not EA so they saw the D on the transcript. 
I'm fairly certain my kid could have had a couple Cs and still gotten admitted at all of their schools. [/quote]
