[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It matters. My child applied with equal As and A minuses (no Bs) and very strong extracurriculars and did much differently in top20 admissions than classmates who only had one or two A minuses. [/quote] I don't believe your claim of causality. Most school districts don't even report A-minuses separately from As. Academic rigor, SAT/ACT, achievements, extracurriculars, and diversity/challenge factors matter more than tiny differences in GPA.[/quote] Huh? Many schools report A minuses! And a straight A minus GPA is a 3.7 which is much different than a 4.0 A GPA. My senior attends a Big3 and the colleges attended by a 3.7 are worlds different than those attended by kids who are close to a 4.0. We're talking Wisconsin vs Princeton. All good schools but we can all agree are different and are literally decided by the A minus vs the A. [/quote]
