That's what I'm sayin'

Grades are going to be of little value to her. The most impt factor for choosing a college should be which one offers the best social opportunities (i.e., the most eligible bachelors). But there's lots of schools that offer that, including lots that aren't academically difficult.

In addition, grades are for the most part really an indication of how well a person will function as an employee. (This is coming from someone who had great grades all throughout 18+ years of education). She is never going to need that. Whether or not she is a great employee isn't going to make any difference in her life (plus, of course, she would be a great employee no matter what her grades are, because she was raised right).

In addition, the SINGLE most important decisions she is going to make is who she dates and who she marries. That will affect the outcome of her life. That person is not going to care whether she got an A or a B. Unless she really screws it up, she is never going to work at a serious job, and probably won't work at all after the age of late 20s/early 30s.
