[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say it's interesting to learn that 25% of a Sidwell class (with a 3.85+) manages to go through 4 years without getting a B. If that many are able to master the curriculum like this then lowering the grading bar just hurts these top kids and muddies the waters for their admissions. [/quote] Strictly speaking: You could offset some B+ grades with A grades and still end up at 3.85. But, as such, yes: 3.85 is excellent. Of course, Sidwell is still being hurt a bit, in my view, not by lowering the bar, but by keeping it as high as it is. A 3.85 kid at Sidwell or similar schools in DC should be doing very well in admissions to the very top schools (HYPS). But, this is generally not the case. [/quote]
