Ahh! So many A minuses! Sucks to suck.

<p>Alright, so the quarter closes tomorrow - and these are my grades. :(</p>

<p>AP Environmental Science - 90% (A-)
AP English Language and Composition - 91% (A-)
AP World History - 99% (A+)
Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus Honors - 92% (A-)
Latin III/IV Honors - 105% (A+)
Studio Art Honors - 92% (A-)</p>

<p>Something about the fact that I have 4 A minuses right now really irritates me. AP classes are weighted, so that an A- in an AP class is really an A+ in an Honors class (you add 10 points, essentially) but still. STILL. A minuses are like, B pluses on steroids. </p>

<p>I want your unbridled, "CCer" opinion of my grades. I can handle the truth. Please.</p>

<p>Your silence speaks for itself, College Confidential.</p>

<p>You still got all A’s…lol I’m still rocking my two B’s and two A’s lol</p>

<p>Your grades seem pretty good to me. Honestly, I would be a little disappointed by the A minuses if those were my grades, but I’m really hard on myself. Last year (freshman) I got 3 A minuses and all the rest A’s, and I still regret not trying harder to bring them all up to A’s.
Anyway, I’m assuming you’re a junior?</p>

5

<p>Rockin 3 Bs and 4 low As</p>

6

<p>@SonicCare same as me :D</p>

7

<p>I feel like I need that “are you freaking kidding me?” meme. Your grades are fine. I’d be happy to have them. (I have 3 As and 3 Bs.)</p>

8

<p>A-'s look cooler than B+'s.</p>

<p>They just do.</p>

<p>/informed CC’er opinion.</p>

9

<p>Yes - I’m a Junior.</p>

10

<p>Only on this website do people complain about straight A’s.</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>Quitefully.</p>

<p>My favorite is the “OMG I got a B in AP Calc BC first quarter of sophomore can I still get into Harvard???”</p>

12

<p>I’d rather have straight A’s (like, 93-96) in every class, than have A+s and A-'s commingling amongst one another on my transcript. Wah.</p>

13

<p>I have 1 C (76.4 IB English) 3 B’s (80.9 IB French 6, 86.4 Precal, 80.0 IB History), 1 A (92.1 AP Chem) but it’s about to drop to a high B and an 175.4% that should be a C (72 IB Film). Quarter ends next week. I’m screwed. I’m expecting the French and History to stay at B’s. Math to go up. AP Chem to go up. Film to stay at a C and English is a toss-up because he never grades anything. Grrr. History I’m fine with because it’s so hard. Math BETTER go up because it’s my best class. My first C and maybe 2. I’m a Junior so this is bad.</p>

14

<p>At my school A- counts as 3.7 and A+ as 4.3 for purposes of GPA (with A being 4.0). Kind of sucks if you end up heavy on A-s.</p>

15

<p>At our school, A-'s in AP courses are weighted as A+'s, so if you have A-'s in AP Courses (like I do in APES and AP English) it isn’t all that bad… but the fact that I have an A- in two honors courses… ouch. :(</p>

16

<p>Relax. Ive got a smorshaboard of A- and As. At least its not a <em>GASP</em> B+ XD</p>

17

<p>You’re d-mn right, at least it’s not a B+ - I’d be having heart palpitations with a B+.</p>

18

<p>If there wasn’t a consequence for profanity on this site, I would be spewing so much foul-mouthed jealousy and hatred at you right now…but seriously, I envy you. A-'s are nothing to worry about. MIT’ll still take you.</p>

19

<p>I have an A-, a B+, and two Bs. I would kill to have A-'s in all my classes. This is going to be my first report card ever with MOSTLY Bs. Ugh.</p>

20

<p>If it bothers you that much, we can swap grades.</p>

<p>English - A+ (96)
History - A- (91)
Computer Repair - A- (93)
Science - B+ (88…?)</p>

<p>Micro. Apps - A (96)
Math - (81… but she hasn’t graded my quiz so, this is potentially a C)
Chorus - A+ (99)</p>
