NYT had a piece on this a while back-many schools, to attract high end students for the nationwide ratings, give out more merit scholarships that they can afford to continue, and they require a B average to keep. Kid says, "piece of cake, B is easy," but if almost all have scholarships and the grading is on a curve, a significant number MUST lose the money on the curve. It's a trap, and the kid has to consider carefully, with your help, whether, if she gets such an offer, she can get the required grades and whether she can pay if she doesn't. Otherwise, could be the school shopping starts again. Our daughter got a big scholarship at Johns hopkins, partied too much freshman year, then did not realize that the B requirement was a rolling one, not just getting a B the next semester. She sweated that one and made it by a hair.
