[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently discovered that when my kids say someone has "straight As," it means that the student does not have any Bs or Cs (or Ds or Fs obviously), but a student with all "A-"s would still consider themselves a "straight A student."  I always thought a "straight A" student had a 4.0 UW.  Am I in the minority here?[/quote]

No. Straight As means a 4.00 UW GPA. Our three kids are all straight A students. One at Harvard, one at Yale, and one at MIT. All full scholarships. [/quote] 
Those schools have no merit scholarships so for a full ride you have to have less than 170k income. It is pure need based at those places. You are a troll and do not have kids at those schools or you would be well aware of these facts[/quote]

Untrue, of course.

You wouldn’t even know that as all of these schools are totally out of your reach (and those of your friends and family, I’m sure). The common perception and broad advertising that T10 schools don’t offer merit is a bit misleading. Sometimes they are full scholarships based on athletic merit. Sometimes they are referred to clandestinely as fellowships. In either case, there is no relation to need or correlation with family income.

I have degrees from all three of these institutions, to include B.S., S.M., D.B.A., Ph.D., and M.D. degrees. Sorry you were misinformed and unaware of the inside baseball, chump. [/quote]
