[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 DD is in at several T75’s with a C (APWorld). With excellent merit. So yes, they will. [/quote]

Thank you. I think there are many people spreading myths, which only fuels the crazy hype. [/quote]

Top 75s are not going to have a C or 2 harm you.  But it very likely will for a T25.   You are comparing Gonzaga to Duke---huge difference.  Really once you exit Top 25-30, it's not likely to harm you if rest is strong

That’s the point. We are battling against the T25 is the only way mentality. It’s not. And it’s damaging to the kids to boot. [/quote]
