<p>Wouldn’t a B here and there (a notch below perfection) make you kind of more interesting to admission officers, all other things being equal?</p>
<p>No. It would not.</p>
<p>edit: Not saying you need all A’s but a B is never better than an A in the same class…</p>
<p>yes, because it shows colleges that you aren’t a machine and are actually human and imperfect</p>
<p>Hopefully your personal statement and essay can accomplish above statement, without any correlation to your grades. So, in my opinion, the essay portions of the application are what distinguish how “human” someone is, not an occasional B. </p>
<p>That said, if you have a scatter of Bs, no worries. </p>
<p>My opinion is just of a high school senior (probably like you) so take this with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>It makes sense, but no, statistically, the higher the gpa and test scores, the higher percentage of acceptance. Look at some of the school’s scattergrams. They tell the story.</p>
