<p>Had a b in grade 10 eng accelerated for FINAl mark. but for SCHOOL final mark. got an A. but my A is not on my trasncript since my school does not show school final if there is a the final Final lol. But my eng teacher who taught me in that course wrote me a rec, and under the "course taught and grades received: she put that i got an A," which is my school final mark. </p>

<p>will they even think she is lying</p>

<p>should i explain it? im worried about the B. im applying ed to princeton.</p>

<p>I dont think a couple of B's really matter. sure alot of people have 4.0 Unweighted, but one or two, or maybe even three b's won't SIGNIFICANTLY hurt your chances.</p>

<p>I'm getting a B right now; I think that's a lot worse.</p>

4

<p>not really if you get in early :P</p>

<p>but yeah. i had one b in 10th grade. i dont know the way my teacher phrased it .. it might help.. i hope//..</p>

<p>ugh... will they see your final exam grades?</p>

<p>I failed my algebra 2 finals, but the curve got me a D- (65). Dont ask</p>

<p>In my junior year tho, i took the sat2's for math 1C (750) and 2C (790), kinda to prove it to myself, since i'm a mathish person.</p>

<p>How do u think they will see this?</p>

<p>my grades sophomore year:
choir-A/A
chemistry-B/B
Honors Spanish- B/A
Geometry-B/B
Honors English A/A
Political Science (@ college)-A
US history (@ college)- A</p>

<p>Is that too many B's and not enough honors classes? Looking back, i really regret not taking honors geometry and AP chem..</p>

<p>.......... one b? i hope it doesnt.</p>

8

<p>haha, me too, thatsme. me too.</p>

<p>Well i got a total of 5 B's my soph year. what'st hat gonna do to me if this kid is worried about 1 B lol?</p>

10

<p>Haha, I definitely feel you. My B's have all shown up in one subject: math. And I've gotten them ever since second semester freshman year. That brings the total to 5 B's Princeton will see (high B's, but B's no less). Yay?</p>

<p>i have 1 B so im in the same boat as u :-D</p>

<p>bah i hate these 60 second rules. JUST LET ME POST AWAY!</p>

<p>it depends on what kind of school you go to, i've averaged like 2Bs out of 6 classes a semester. So i have a bunch of em, but very few kids at my school have straight As and we have the most kids going HYP, so Bs are clearly ok.</p>

<p>i got a B in eng 10/11 honors accelerated, and a 690 for verbal and 740 for wr. but i did get an A in english in junior year... i applied ed as well. im afraid i might get deferred b/c they might think my eng is not good enough. B in grade 10 and 690.</p>
