[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher. I've written lots of college recommendations and seen lots of transcripts as a part of that process. Generally, students with a few Cs in 9th grade don't then become straight A students with superstar board scores in their upperclass years. Just because I have not seen that doesn't mean it can't happen. What I have seen more frequently is students with a sprinkling of Cs freshman year turn into good, strong B+/A-/A students once they "figure it out." They've gotten into some great schools, too. And they often graduate high school with a wonderful sense of accomplishment and a conviction that they can surmount obstacles. As others have said, if you define the Ivys as the only "great schools" out there, you risk being disappointed even if the student has been getting As throughout high school.[/quote] Great post, thank you.
