<p>Hi, I'm a junior and I went on overload this year and took 6 APs. I got As in 4 of them, but 2 are Bs and I don't think I did well enough on their exams to pull 5s. This was in Calc BC and Physics B. (Unfortunately, I want to major in physics).</p>
<p>Right now, my UW is 3.94 and I'm 7 in a class of about 750 kids, but this'll drop me in both areas. I'm applying to Harvard, Princeton and Cornell, among other schools.</p>
<p>This isn't a matter of life or death to me but I come from a pretty humble Hispanic family and I want to make my parents proud.</p>
<p>Relax, a couple of Bs in AP classes will not kill you.</p>
<p>Did you take your classes seriously, work hard, and learn a lot? That should be enough to make your parents proud.</p>
<p>If you continue to do academic work of this caliber, you should have a lot of good college options open to you after graduation. That should make your parents proud. </p>
<p>Your options may or may not include Ivies and their peers. Whether it does should not be the basis on which your parents decide whether they’re proud of you.</p>
<p>Lol you’re fine</p>
<p>i got 3 A’s, 2 B+'s my junior year</p>
<p>going to Columbia</p>
<p>Thank you for the sensible answer Sikorsky</p>
<p>See the Resources sticky thread on the Hispanic Students forum (under College Admissions, Specialty Topics) for excellent information on scholarships, diversity weekends, past Results, etc.</p>
<p>Hypocrates, it makes sense to base your assessment of yourself or others on things that can be controlled, such as diligence, consideration for others and honest behavior. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to base your assessment of yourself or others on things that can’t be controlled, such as getting into Harvard.</p>
<p>You probably know this already. And probably so do your parents. But I suspect we all benefit from being reminded of it from time to time.</p>
