[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd took algebra 1 honors in 7th and geometry honors in 8th. She got a B in both and pass advanced on the SOLs. 
I have no intention of expunging them or having her retake them. She did great and I'm sure she will get into a great college that's a good fit.

[b]When did anything less than perfect become something to hide? When did a B become "doing badly?" There's a lot more to life than UVA. [/quote]
Don't be so sure she will get into a great college. The competition is brutal. Unless your kid got B's in middle school Alg/geom AND got into a selective school dont be so quick to bash others.[/quote][/b]

So true.  Would you believe that 96% of the accepted early action students for Georgia Tech 2020 has taken AP Calculus?  Also most have taken "at least" 10 college level AP courses.  [/quote]

Well, GA Tech is an engineering school, and early action is tougher than general admission, so I might believe the Calc piece for early admissions. But DH grew up in Georgia, so I am sure that the 10 college level classes is BS-- most HSs in Georgia do not begin to offer that level of course work, so it would be impossible for a good chunk of GA admits to access it.   I'm betting you're looking at a pretty narrow range of kids-- like OOS or FCPS admits, and probably Engineering school admits, not general college admits. So-- source please. [/quote]

Actually, it is usually [b]easier[/b] to get in early action/decision at most colleges and universities.[/quote]
