Can you make a class "not count" when transferring credits?

Transfer Students

<p>I have 1 B in a sea of As. All As on my hs transcript, all As on my college transcript, except for 1 B. 1 lousy B from a demented chemistry teacher who was on academic probation when I took his summer chemistry course that my mother kinda made me take, and was on probation because he failed too many students in the past ... a B was seriously considered miraculous, possibly the highest grade he gave. </p>

<p>that 1 B brought my 4.0 to a 3.81. =( </p>

<p>:(:(:(</p>

<p>do i have to transfer that stupid class? it ruined the perfect record I had before I even got to start the real college I wish to attend. =(</p>

<p>it's on your transcript.. get over it :]</p>

<p>Your grades don't transfer, just the credits.</p>

<p>i wish i had your problems. grow up .</p>

<p>Explain it in your essays and comments section of your applications. Emphasize that the teacher is on probation, and that your grade was the highest he gave.</p>

6

<p>thats a waste of an essay.... 1 B does not matter, everyone is allowed one B</p>

<p>Like nspeds said, grades don't transfer, only credits...so once you transfer you will basically be starting from scratch in terms of your GPA. Most colleges accept grades higher than C as transfer credit for similar courses, so I don't think transferring the credits you received from that Chem class will be a problem. If you think the B will hurt your chances of acceptance to another school, use the section provided in most applications for explaining certain circumstances.</p>

But where you finish is more important than where you start.</p>

<p>Do NOT mention this in your transfer apps unless you want to come across as a whiney grade-obsessed kid. If you learned something in that class, it did its job. Move on. No one needs a 4.0. Worse yet is someone who is focused on the GPA as opposed to the experience. Grad schools are not looking for 4.0 students. They are looking at students who show aptitude for the field, serious depth of interest in the field.</p>

<p>Focus on grades is a sign of shallowness rather than an indicator of depth of interest.</p>

<p>Step away from your transcript and into your education.</p>
