[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My B+ student (3.7 UW/4.0 W) was accepted at UMW, CNU, SMCM, Mount Holyoke, Juniata[/quote]

3.7 UW is literally an A-   Not exactly a B+ student! [/quote]

Oh come on! That could only come from someone grade-obsessed. Like they are miles apart  :shock: [/quote]

Disagree. A B+ is a 3.3. In terms of college admissions, a 3.3 and a 3.7 are indeed miles apart.

Saying her B+ student was admitted to Mt Holyoke is disingenuous and misleading. Others who have kids with true B+ averages might misunderstand their kids’ likelihood of admission to various schools. Overshooting with no true safeties is a major problem right now.[/quote]

Agree that 3.3 and 3.7 are not the same, but MH is an easier admit than you realize, too. Much easier than the other 7 sisters. [/quote]

1. OP asked about A-/B+ so nitpicking about a 3.7 is silly. 
2. DD was definitely on the low end from our school getting in with a 3.7, and especially given that her junior year was her worst year of HS, which is why I think she'd be seen more as a B+ student. 
3. Very strong ECs in her academic area plus interest in a very specific program at MHC probably helped.
4. Being on the low end of the pool showed in aid, her merit award did not come in where we needed so it fell off the list but was happy with her options from the rest of the acceptances.[/quote]
