<p>for those taking a-levels, for the finals; what is the impact of one B for unis like michigan, uchicago and NYU?</p>
<p>bumppity bump ??</p>
<p>I wouldn't think it'd be too significant, especially if you have all As.</p>
<p>ack, results in one week...help :( I feel sick just thinking about it. and one B is NOT a problem at all. (I applied to Stanford with one B and got in... well, a B in AS, not A2)</p>
<p>nakay probabl had some other REALLY compelling qualities to offset that B. anyway a B in AS can be upped to an A in the final, since it's the average of the two.</p>
<p>anyone took further maths for this A2?</p>
<p>oh and i forgot to mention...i'll only be applying this year for entry in next year. so it means that i'll be sending the actual results to them.</p>
<p>God! you ppl take grades TOO seriously... a B wont hurt your app much... i even got Cs :p n am goin to MIT haha</p>
<p>what i meant was... since your A level grades come out AFTER your decision letters arrive, they dont really matter... just dont end up with any U's ....that wud suck hhahah</p>
<p>just make sure your O level grades r decent enough.. :)</p>
<p>besides, ive said it a zillion times all over CC that its not just the grades that you need to highlight on your application!!! you are a PERSON, not a bunch of alphabets :p
SHOW yourself.. whatever you've got..your dreams, your hopes, your passions.. share them with your adcoms.. SPEAK!</p>
<p>okay i got a lil carried away there... :-/</p>
<p>my point:- grades are imp,sure. just dont kill urself over the alphabets.</p>
<p>^ Hail! You're absolutely right. I love that: we're people, not alphabets. <em>claps</em> </p>
<p>dammit, I don't want to get my results :( 5 days left...</p>
<p>haha no worries :p
u're goin to stanford anyway!!! ;)</p>
<p>and you, MIT! congrats :)</p>
<p>haha thanks!! :D</p>
<p>what will u major in?</p>
<p>um, no clue. I'm thinking of French literature, but I'm the most clueless chick on earth, so I still haven't decided :D and you? Which A Levels have you done, btw? I did French, English lit., Maths and Biology... man, hope our results are good...</p>
<p>wow. stanford + mit. must be hell of a person you people are...</p>

Yeah, I did. P6 M5 M6, although right now I wish I took S1 or D1 instead of M6.</p>
