[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard from multiple college coaches who are former admissions counselors on this. A “B” in AP is better than an “A” in gen Ed. Schools want to see rigor as well as grades. Straight A’s all through H.S. resulting from easy gen ed classes are not as compelling as a student who challenges themselves.[/quote] True, but at UVA and other highly competitive colleges, they already have way way too many applications with straight As in rigorous classes. Plenty of them will get rejected as well. So if your student has a few Bs, and nothing that makes them significantly stand out apart from other high and very high achievers, they have pretty much no chance [/quote] But, I really want her to have a chance! Which is why it’s important to get an A instead of a B. She does not have another hook, like the hooks of legacy, or the right minority status, or big-donor parents; she is not even disabled in any way.[/quote]
