[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I will just share my experience.

My son has 3.4. So basically B plus and shade below A minus.

He didn’t take many honors and APs

I assumed a B plus would be find. ESP for big state school which is what he wants.

Unfortunately not the case. T[b]otally dismayed at the number of state schools that I thought were safeties that we are being told he probably won’t be excepted at. [/b]And his ACT score was fine and equivalent to what a B plus student would be.

So maybe share the stats with your DD now so she gets it. And start managing expectations. Many many good schools that will take her as other have mentioned. But not the ones you probably thought would.

Sigh. Yes it really makes us frustrated  with our private school and it tough grading system. [/quote]

which schools are these?
Thank you--my kid is similar.  [/quote]

PSU, Ohio, Clemson, TN, Auburn, South Carolina and similar.

No, I was not told they are safeties. That was my assumption before going into the college process. That is what I am trying to convey to the OP, who is not yet in the process. [/quote]
