<p>In general, do any students with one or two C’s get admitted into selective boarding schools such as Exeter, Deerfield, or Lawrenceville? Also, (an example) if you have 2 C’s but a 98%-tile on the SSAT, how will schools look at this? Finally, which is better; a B in a academic course or a C in an honors course? Thank you!</p>
<p>High SSAT but low grades could mean one of two things: you’re a slacker or your school has serious grade deflation. </p>
<p>
An A in an honors course.</p>
<p>There is no scenario where a C will be better.</p>
<p>@stargirl3 how will the school know that your school has grade deflation? @skieurope is a C equivent to a B in an honors course? To both of you: has there ever been someone that has had a C and been accepted to Exeter or any other selective school?</p>
<p>Yes, but usually if you’ve got good EC’s. </p>
<p>@mrnephew Can I pm you? I know you go to lville and I just had some questions.</p>
<p>Of course. </p>
