i can understand what the op is saying. i went to one of the best high schools in my state (which was public, yet ranked above several nationally recognized private schools) and struggled to get A's and B's (and even a C in one case). I was also involved in several productions a year as well as worked, so that may have had something to do with it.
when i went to college, however, i was still just as busy, but managed to get a 3.75 my first semester. i didn't have to work nearly as hard as i had in high school. now, my school wasn't the most competitive, but i was in an honors program. i transferred out of that school into a pretty competitive university, and while it's definitely more difficult, it's not nearly as hard as high school was.
a lot of the kids i went to high school with went on to ivy leagues, and the general consensus from people i knew who went to harvard was that it was much harder to get in than to stay in.
sooooo, what she's saying is possible. i just doubt it's very common.
(please excuse the incoherentness. sick. you know how it is.)
