Won't be a problem at our private. Kids in 3.8 range get accepted to Brown. One B or two in the first term senior would kill it as it's consistent with the trend.
Only the straight A highest test scores at our school. But, like most schools, only 0-2 a year get accepted. I think our entire county between 4 high schools only had 1. It’s a high reach for everyone.
Agree it's different between high schools.
Having grade deflation can actually be good for kids' mental health. They work hard and do their best. No one is fussing over a couple B+.

Which class and area of interest? Stem kid with a B in math or physics? That’ll give the reader pause. English major with a B in MV, probably not a big issue.
