B's in Math can be an absolute killer at some schools. Others will let it slide... (mom of a kid who got a "maybe" from Harvey Mudd but positive reread from an institution nextdoor) Both with as much pull as a coach could offer at each school.
Yep. Seems like a couple of them know what the deal breaker red flags are and can quickly eliminate those, but still not 100% with admissions.
Mudd was one that said no B's in math or STEM courses. My son mentioned a B+ in biology and he said they didn't consider that STEM. Really focused on math, physics, and chemistry.
