<p>I agree with nearly everything in your post 13, but it varies siginificantly from post 9. Post 9 was comparing two good stat kids whereas you throw out a D in post 13; obvioulsy, D's won't cut it anywhere. </p>
<p>My main point is that a ~3.5 average gets one into the app pool, regardless of where the classes come from. After that, adcoms are on to MCAT, EC's and, my favorite, intangibles.</p>
<p>your quote (dunno know how to do cool grey boxes :)<br>
"I think it's fairly clear that we would all pick B." </p>
<p>Sorry, I think we will have to agree to disagree bcos I would not necessarily pick B first. f</p>
<p>why? most top kids in Calif assumes/believes/knows, that a cc course is EASIER that an AP course at a top public high school. If perception is 90% of reality, do you think adcoms don't know that?</p>
