Unhelpful…unless you applied to competitive colleges in the last 3 years.
Are you talking about T25 colleges? They were always difficult for a B students. If not, can you name some colleges (not in the T25) that you think are competitive right now?

I agree. Signed A+ student
You apparently haven't kept up and don't know how ferociously competitive it has become to get into a good school

Just like poor students need top colleges more than wealthy students, B students need it more than A+ students. Wealthy and A+ students will do fine anyways.

So- 1) don't let your high school experience define your future; 2) don't let the college that you go to define your worth; and 3) everyone blossoms at their own time ( i.e some babies learn to walk at 1 year and others at 2 years- but now, at 18, you can't tell which kids walked a year earlier).
+1 So very true!

College prestige DOES NOT MATTER.
It depends on your career goals, and if the hiring system is purely objective or if it's subjective.
Why are reactivating a thread several months old to say . . .this?

With the supposedly rampant grade inflation, a B is a C.
Average students unite!

What’s he doing that’s worth 750k a year?

Last year, some of my son's peers were rejected from UMD with a 4.4 weighted GPA. My son had a 4.6 weighted GPA, a dozen AP courses with scores of 5, 35 ACT and got into Honors college.
So.
Word to the wise. A "B" these days isn't that great.
You can bet that B students were admitted over “your son’s peers” because they were desirable applicants for other reasons.
