[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'm assuming that you're talking about for college applications[/b], and that probably depends on the college. When someone says that you need all As to get into MIT, they probably don't mean that all A minuses is good enough. When someone says that you need all As to get into your state flagship, a few A minuses is probably ok [/quote]

OP here. Not just asking for college applications.

[b]When you say "My kid has straight A's",[/b] does that mean there are not A minuses?

Are you saying that including the A- depends on the context? And more so, if the context is college apps, it depends on the selectivity of the school?

See, I live a life where this information is not relevant to anyone, so I would not say this.[/quote]

I believe (??) this post is a spin off of the post about what it takes to get into UVA. Someone said basically straight A’s, and someone wondered if that included A-‘s.

In that context, no, they are not the same. UVA is not going to accept your FCPS student with a 3.7 unweighted GPA. [/quote]

Our high school district does not give minus/plus only straight letter grades. DD definitely works hard to squeak into the A zone but I can see how that would not feel fair to other students who have high A's. [/quote]
