[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s nothing wrong with getting B’s in AP classes. You’re overreacting.[/quote]

NP.

My DD would be very upset about the prospect of a B in an AP class.

This could ruin her chances for a shot at UMD, W&M, or UVA.

It is a very big deal.

Students who are accepted to those schools truly never get a B in an AP class?

There are many other schools besides those three, I'd hate for my kid to be under that much pressure to be absolutely perfect.[/quote]

This is what our school counselor told us and we basically took UVA off the list for that reason. I'm not interested in that nonsense and neither is my kid.

My child is smart, in all college level classes, and high performing at everything. UVA would be lucky to have her. She's an extremely hard worker and teachers love her. I do not want that kind of BS pressure on her and it's absurd for any school to think because she may get a B, or even 2 or 3 B's, that she couldn't do the work of their school or are less worthy to get in.

And LBH, I know at least a handful of "B" students who ended up transferring from other schools (NOVA, thought that program or other VA 4 year schools). So, this is all about their stats and what they're accepting. NOt whether a HS kid got a few B. So they can suck it. [/quote]
