<p>Sophomore Year:

<p>Are my grades going toward a downward trend? Sophomore year was so hard for me because I didn't know how to handle an AP just yet, and precalculus was really challenging too so I didn't get the chance to spend as much time as I used to in the humanities. However, I'm happy with my art grade :P</p>

<p>yeah man, colleges will reject you because you care too much. I know kids with 3.6’s who get into top schools and yet the kids with the 2400, 1st in class, perfect gpa, etc… get rejected.</p>

<p>Ok question, how did u skip alg2 and bio H?? lol</p>

<p>and yeah you are SOL those A-'s will kill you</p>

<p>Hhahahaa yeah I was just bored…and I just got my grades, so naturally I’m thinking about grades. Idk why I didn’t have to tkae Alg. II and Bio Honors. That’s why I got a B+ in precalculus and pulled allnighters for AP Bio. It was tough and messed up my life a bit.</p>

5

<p>But you only had one AP class…you took Bio…you got an A in it…and you don’t think you can handle it…ok sure, with that thought process cc is calling for you.</p>

<p>I don’t get it, where’s the downward trend?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t see it either. Unless it’s the “OH NOES B+ IN ADVANCED PRECALCULUS I WILL NEVER GET INTO HARVARD!!!1!!1111!1shift1!!1”</p>

<p>These threads are grating.</p>

<p>^ LOLZ</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>hahah sorry guys if this was grating.</p>

10

<p>no… one B+ will not kill you</p>

11

<p>Are you telling me… You want to get into college with a B+? Yeah good luck with that, tell me how it works out next time I come to pick up a Big Mac.</p>

</p>

<p>Goods, I think you are being unfair…You shouldn’t get her hopes up like that. With a B+, I doubt she will find employment.</p>

<p>(Rythm: We are just kidding, there is nothing to worry about. Relax, and good luck!)</p>

<p>It’s a slight downward trend. However, it most likely merely reflects an increasing difficulty in your courses rather than negatively on your work ethic. Re-evaluate why your grades are slightly lower and make the proper adjustments. There’s really no point in creating a thread about it. It’s no big deal.</p>

<p>An A means an A. A, A- or an A+, all of these have the same meaning: A! So who cares, it’s a B. I got one C my freshman year, and two B’s this year. All I can do is to even better and try to get all A’s. I don’t really see any trend except that one B, which isn’t bad at all. Pre-Calculus isn’t an easy subject. You’re fine, chill.</p>
