<p>especially when i am applying to top colleges.....</p>
<p>I am screwed.. i 've never been all A student , but have kept my gpa of 3.89 all through my high school.</p>
<p>I know senior grades still count... am I just freakin' out too much ? or is this going to hurt me a lot in a very competitive pool?</p>
<p>I'm not sure how ivies will look at 3 Bs in your case. First of all, which classes did you receive those 3 Bs? How is your class load?</p>
<p>I've been a straight A student, too, until my AP Cal AB quarter grade, which counted in my school. I had a 4.0 UW after junior year. Now, it is a 3.96 UW.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB-B
AP Economics- B
AP Renaissance Lit- A
AP Chem- B
Spanish III- A
Chinese II- A</p>
<p>Is AP Renaissance Lit and AP class?</p>
<p>Isn't it AP English Lit?</p>
<p>Well, semester grades at my school don't come out until the end of January.</p>
<p>When does your school release your official grades?</p>
<p>i guess it is technically AP English Lit which is divided to AP Renaissance Lit and AP Irish Lit for both semesters.</p>
<p>When I am pretty positive that we send mid-year report right away which is Jan 24th. >,< omg</p>
<p>don't colleges start making decisions until beginning of feburary or something?</p>
<p>So they still take mid-year report into consideration when making decisions~~~</p>
<p>I am gonna recieve a letter w/ BIG FAT REJECTION WRITTEN ON IT. ㅠ</p>
<p>:D Congratulations, your school is in violation of the College Board's copyright of the term "AP." </p>
<p>Honestly, I don't think it will affect your admission that much. Three B's instead of two isn't that big. If you don't get in, it's not because your GPA is "low" now. You're almost exactly the same now as you were applying. Now if you had gotten C's, that'd be a completely different story.......</p>
<p>Also, please stop this "self-loathing" business. It's rather displeasing both towards fellow CC'ers and yourself.</p>
<p>that's kinda funny....</p>
<p>I should really say that it's called AP English Lit but they teach two different things like macro and micro economics. lolz</p>
<p>Anyway I am like applying to Cornell, >.<</p>
<p>i guess it's better to be optimistic and positive..</p>
<p>I guess nobody really cares in the end, and it will be all my fault wasting time complaining about it.</p>
<p>Another thing that's annoying: the improper use of "like," but that's just my pet peeve. </p>
<p>Anyway, it really doesn't matter. Your grades are your grades. Again, if you don't get admitted, it's not because the adcoms saw something differently upon glancing at the mid-year report.</p>
<p>you guys are freaking out over Bs
i have a C and an F this quarter</p>

I'll end by saying last year someone on CC didn't send in a midterm report into Cornell and called its office. The office told him "don't worry about it; we don't really look at it."

<p>OMG is that for ED or RD?</p>
<p>Becuase then .....i dont' know what to say.</p>
<p>Grades are not everything. To put things into perspective, I got deferred with a ~3.0 GPA from an ivy league school(without being a URM!).</p>
<p>you must had a really good SAT score or something special</p>
<p>everybody is not that special though >.<</p>
<p>don't worry about B's, especiall b/c they're in AP clases. I got 3 B's my junior year, and 1 definite B this year. My Bs were in AP Calculus (1st semester), AP Chem (1st semester), Honors Spanish IV, and AP Government which I only took so I can vote. J/k, but I do want to make and informed decision come November. I got in Cornell ED, as u know already</p>
