[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m advising my next kid to fight for every half grade in every class. Not a lot of room for error with grades. [/quote]

Teachers will hate your child.

Not a smart thing to teach them for college either.[/quote]

Agree!  The professors cannot stand the grade grubbers.[/quote]

Fine but all you read about here is how kids with B’s end up at Bumble*** State [/quote]

Your problem is thinking any college that accepts students with less than a 4.0 is a "Bumble*** State"[/quote]

Agree.  Also, if your kid earned a B, they should get a B.  It’s not fair to the kid that earned the A to have it watered down.  This is what causes grade inflation and has  messed up admissions.  You really need to increase your worldview.  There are more than just the T20 schools.  Your kid may actually be happier and achieve more at a “lower ranked” school.

Any respectable college will not allow the grade grubbing and test retakes that helped your kid get a 4.0.  It will be a shock and wake up

Well, my kid didn’t do all that, wasn’t super focused on grades and his transcript shows that and this didn’t help his application. More attention or assertiveness around getting the best possible grade would have been helpful. I am communicating this to younger sibling.

With all the hooked kids of iffy intellect floating around these schools, I have no worries whatsoever about my kid being academically competitive even if he turned a B+ into an A- at some point
