<p>I have read other posts where posters were ridiculed for being upset about a B+ and others that said any deviation from grades should be explained. </p>
<p>My daughter is a senior and her grades are pretty high. Her grades are in the A range (minus, plus or just plain A). Until senior year, she has only had two or three B+s for three prior years. Senior year she became ill and received three B+s in major courses, one B+ in an elective and 2 As in the rest of her majors. Second quarter she has 2 Bs, 2 As and 1 A+ in major courses and an A in the elective. Since she has applied to some very competitive schools, and is looking for merit at others, does this deviation require a letter to the admissions officers to explain what happened? </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
