This happened with people in the highly gifted magnet at my High School. It didn&#x27;t matter that they were taking nothing but AP classes by teachers hell bent on being extremely difficult. They saw consistent C and B grades and a 1600&#x2F;2400 (I went to High School during the transition from 2 part to 3 part SAT). Some didn&#x27;t get accepted anywhere due to the fact they only applied two a few Ivy League schools.
