[quote=Anonymous]I worked at a Big 3 for a decade, this was pre-pandemic, but there was no student with a 4.0 at this particular school over my decade there.  I am confident as I reviewed the grades of all students at a certain grade level during my time there and in that grade level there were never students with straight As down the board as the end-of-year grade. There is always at least one A-, or a few A-s, from freshman year and then typically a random A- from the more rigorous courses later on, like Honors Precalc, the junior year tough English teacher, etc.  I can tell you there are students with a sub-3.0 GPA every year, out of the class of about 80 students, I would estimate at least 5 each year had a high 2.x GPA, which is a B-/C+ average.  Most kids who would have below 2.5 would have been counseled out by sophomore year.  Back in those days, kids with a 2.8 GPA from a Big 3 could still get into schools like College of Charleston, SMU, Sewanee, Muhlenburg, etc. if they were full pay but times have changed.  Grading also changed during the pandemic, so my information may no longer be relevant.    [/quote]
