[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports, extracurriculars, and fun stuff are the nice part, but GPA does matter in the end.  As long as the student manages to maintain above average GPA (above 4.3 weighted) that would take care of college admissions aspect somewhat.  If it drops below 4.0 weighted which it does for bottom couple of hundred kids, the competitive college prospects are miserable.  [/quote]

What does 4.3 translate to- all As except how many Bs and B+. Not asking for exact, but guessing maybe 3-5 so that means all A with 3-5 Bs outs kid in middle to bottom of pack?[/quote]

FWIW DC is junior year and has a 4.3. She’s gotten all As to date. She just hasn’t “worked the system” to max every possible AP opportunity for the GPA plus points (as in does band, a langauge, just one science a year vs multiple ones). Doing AP Calc BC and AP Pyshics this year so isn’t coasting but the kids with super high GPAs mainly get them through strategically maxing the APs. [/quote]
