<p>I had to take 5 AP midterms in one day because I missed a day of school for a Princeton audition. So will a high "C" on my AP Econ midterm keep me out of Princeton? </p>
<p>My other midterms:
AP Bio: A+
AP Stats: A+
AP Latin: B-
AP Spanish: B-
AP US Gov: A+
AP Lit: A-</p>
<p>My school grades on a tougher grading scale (91% is a B), Did I work this hard for my dream school only to fail? I feel that these grades are NOT reflective of me at all, and will obviously never happen again (taking 5 college midterms in a span of 7 hours is rather draining). Is there anything I should do? Explain myself, or will that just draw negative attention?</p>
<p>On a more positive note: Does anyone know if it is ok to just submit an additional sheet of activities done since applications were sent in? This could at least help me, I just want to send everything in the right format.</p>
<p>Stop spamming this please.</p>
<p>Well obviously if you sucked in some of your midterms you didn’t really “work this hard” and your failure to get into a dream school will be exactly what should happen.</p>
<p>2 different threads = spamming?</p>
<p>It just doesn’t seem fair that one day of too many tests could ruin my chances, you know? Any advice?</p>
<p>Normally transcripts only include semester grades, not including exams. If your school follows this norm, than Princeton will never see your midterm exams and only see your semester grades (which are probably higher).</p>
<p>Additionally, senior grades aren’t the major be-all factor in college admissions. They focus on what you have done before and mostly want to ensure that you maintain rigor and don’t completely slack of your senior year.</p>
<p>Thanks! Unfortunately, my high school lists the percentage of each individual 9-weeks grade, as well as midterms, with my transcript. This is new (at the beginning of the year we were told colleges would only see a letter grade). Of course, my high school is stuck in the 90s and won’t send ANYTHING electronically, everything must go through mail. Got to love public school, they make everything harder I wonder why no one from my school ever goes ivy league lol</p>
