[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how getting a B (88 average) now counts as “struggling” with a rigorous course, while an A (91 average) means you’re a top student who can handle any challenge. The reality is that the most important numbers are the sheer numbers of applicants vs the comparatively few slot available at “top” schools. The schools have to thin the herd somehow, and grades is one way. But that doesn’t mean that if you got a B you are a struggling student. It just means you didn’t play the game of musical chairs that is the college admissions process as well as some other kids did.[/quote] A 91 is an A- not an A. It drops the GPA a lot. Ask me how I know. [/quote]
