Well holistic probably applies MOST to the “borderline” of whatever they set as their standard. Like AP test essay grading. There is a standard, but they…try to grade on your positives rather than what’s missing?

At any rate, I’d be an oddball case too. B’s, Academically challenging, but I don’t think I’m top 25%. And it’s not like it makes much of a difference if I was- almost all those kids stay in state. My school doesn’t keep track of the ones who don’t.
