[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc got mostly Bs in freshman year, 3 Bs in total for sophomore and 2 Bs in junior year. He got Bs  consistently in Spanish so he got a total of 6 Bs in Spanish. Senior year, he dropped Spanish. He applied ED to an Ivy and was deferred, and applied for STEM to many top schools. He got into Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, WL at Carnegie Mellon, Guaranteed transfer at Cornell and Georgia Tech. He refused to apply ED2. He is an extremely stubborn kid who refused to study Spanish in HS and did not listen to anyone and applied to STEM at the schools he wanted despite people telling him as an Asian in STEM he would be at a disadvantage. He was at a top private school and his GPA was around 3.7. [/quote]

I don't see how this adds up to a 3.7.  My daughter has had only As and A minuses at a top private and has a 3.8.   It doesn't make any sense to me that the kid would end up with an unweighted 3.7 after having 7 or 8 or 9 Bs ???  The top privates only have 5 or 6 (max) periods per day.  It's not like there are 8 periods in which to get As to dilute all those Bs. [/quote]
