[quote=Anonymous]One -- a B+ in AP World, and she's still furious about it. Got into Cornell, Columbia Dual BA, bunch of UCs, GW... a few other places. She's a smart kid but there is most definitely some grade inflation going on at her school. I wouldn't stress over a B or two or three if grades are high enough to show that s/he can do the work at a given school. A 4.0 vs. someone else's 3.98 isn't going to be some massive competitive advantage; the deciding factor won't be that 0.02 -- it's going to be something in "fit", which is mysterious and subjective. School profile and rigor are obviously going to make a difference, too. The College Admissions Talk podcast is pretty interesting if you're into such things -- with AOs from various schools talking about their process. [/quote]
