[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree, but it’s an unfortunate reality. [b]The truth is that a couple of Bs will not only cost your child admission at T20 schools,but often at state flagships as well.[/b] [/quote] But they were very unlikely to get into a T20 even with all As so you shouldn't make yourself miserable over that goal. Take challenging classes, work hard but also make time for fun, friends, rest, etc. The grades will fall out where they do and you'll still have plenty of choices -- and likely end up with classmates who had straight As and didn't get into the T20s they thought they should. And if you don't get into your state flagship, you will get into other state flagships or choose another in-state school where you will find smart classmates too.[/quote]
