[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

If your child was accepted into a highly selective college, how many Bs did they have?
If you don't mind, could you name the school?

I know this is a silly question as admissions is holistic, but trying to gauge which schools we should target early decision/early action. There are differing opinions in our family![/quote]
Zero (A- in 7th grade algebra and Spanish 4-FCPS)
Waitlisted at UVA and NEU
Denied H and Penn
Accepted at BU, CWRU, Lehigh, UMD, WM, Pitt, Ohio St and UMN

Obviously NO Lang, Lit or FL. 100% sure that killed chances at UVA.

Nah, it got to be something else. Maybe just bad luck. 
My DS took similar AP classes, did not took AP Lang or AP Lit, only English honor. His highest foreign language was Spanish 3. Had one B in middle school (Algebra 1), others are all As. He got in to UVA Engineering and GT CS, went to GT instead. He had great letter of recommendations, and very good ECs, leadership roles, research, and several state and national level STEM awards.
