Did grades kill chances?

I would say that being rank 1 discounts for the grades, but his improving grades indicate that he COULD HAVE done better early on in HS. I would recommend explaining why he waited until late in his HS career to bring up his grades. That 80 really sticks out.

<p>Disagree. Many schools put less weight on what happens in earlier years anyway, and if anything, the 80 (which does not STICK OUT) to straight A’s shows growth and not inconsistency.</p>
