<p>Reminds me of the time a scholarship ambassador came to my school to talk about public service scholarships.</p>

<p>"It's not true that you need straight As to be a President's Scholar. A few years ago, there was a President's Scholar who got one B."</p>

<p>the usual question around this is how badly a C grade in a single class hurts chances where all other grades are As, high test scores, great recs, and solid ECs.</p>

<p>My gut feeling is that a C hurts significantly and the adcom does not have enough time to discover the reason -- therefore easy toss into the reject pile.... and that a B does not hurt at all.</p>

<p>B?? *** is wrong with you ??
B is automatic rejection even if it is in PE wth were you thinking applying to ivies with a B???
forgot abt ivies. it's trip to local Macdonald's for you.</p>
