[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did you get Top 100? What it takes to get into Top 100 is a far cry different than what it takes to get to Top 20. [/quote]

I was being generous based on the fact the tween/teen forum seems to be ok with no EC's and B averages.[/quote]
Do Top 100s actually take kids with no ECs and B averages?  The top half of VA public universities (UVA, VA Tech, WM, and even JMU now) pretty much require top grades and ECs.  [/quote]

JMU requires top grades because of grade inflation in FCPS. It is really hard to get Bs if you are putting in a bit of effort. [/quote]
I keep reading this on this forum but I don’t see grade inflation to that extent. My kid is in honors classes (9th grade), was in AAP.  Science and math especially-the exams are not just easy multiple choices.  You need to know material. You miss couple of questions—that can put at a B.  Is it as hard as it was back on our day? Prob not.  But the idea that you can hand in anything and get an A is BS. [/quote]
