<p>^ That’s what schools say so applicants don’t get discouraged. No school in their right mind is going to say “If you don’t have mostly A’s, you’re outta here.” The fact is that if you have A’s in easy/regular classes with no rigor, then you will be rejected. If you have B’s/C’s in tough AP classes, you will most likely still be rejected. You don’t need a 4.0, but definitely mostly A’s in tough classes if you want to have a real shot.</p>
