We need to bring back the old bell curve where C's where the most common grade and A's were reserved for the truly exceptional.

DS's freshman roommate did not get into Purdue. Had one A - in an online summer class.

Depends on the HS and depends on what classes the Bs are in.

1 in first semester honors biology in 9th. In Scholars at UMD but pretty baby going OOS somewhere else.

Semester grade Bs or year end Bs? Both are on the transcript and several semester B+s were As or A-s by the end of the year.

It just gives an idea that who they really want?

Ask your school naviance. Could be very different.
