<p>So true! You don’t know. I remember that one of my girls didn’t get into the National Honor Society because her GPA was a 3.6 and she needed a 3.8. She was taking all honors and one AP class. My friends daughter, in all regular classes, got into NHS AND got into our state’s flagship university (my daughter was rejected). I had a feeling that it would play out like this but there was no telling my daughter that “playing it safe” (for her aspirations) might have yielded more rewards.</p>
