<p>I recently got admitted to Princeton Class of 2012, and now I have to get through second semester of senior year before I go off to college. I was wondering if two A- on my second semester would get me rescinded. Right now, my ultra-extreme Asian parents are about to bite my head off because at the moment, that above grade scenario seems to be the case. Please understand that this paranoia comes from my parents, not me. I would just like your thoughts.</p>
<p>This is a joke, right?</p>
<p>(Okay, I get it about paranoid parents...just have your college counselor call them and explain that you can even get <em>gasp</em> B's and you'll still be fine.)</p>
<p>Your username matches your question quite nicely.</p>
<p>Try to avoid the C range and you should be fine.</p>
<p>ceebee63: There should not be an apostrophe after the B. Sorry, I had to.</p>

<p>Quote from A Guide to Grammar and Style:</p>
<p>Apostrophes are sometimes used to make acronyms or other abbreviations plural (another matter of a local house style). My preference: don't use apostrophes to make abbreviations plural — not "They took their SAT's," but "They took their SATs." The only exception is when having no apostrophe might be confusing: "Two As" is ambiguous (it might be read as the word as); make it "Two A's." </p>
<p>So I know technically "Bs" would not be confusing because of the context, and normally when I use an acronym (like SATs) I don't use an apostrophe... but since Bs can stand for other things (like Bachelor of Science, or bull****), I did decide to use the apostrophe.</p>
<p>I'm a grammar nut too :) And I don't mind at all that you pointed it out! I love it when other people are grammar nuts! Then I know I'm not alone...</p>
