<p>Do colleges look at individual marking period grades, or the final grade(averaged marking period grades, midterms, and finals) for the course?</p>
<p>Whatever is on your transcript. Generally just your semester grades.</p>
<p>Also, they generally disregard + and -, I believe.</p>
<p>Kaznack I don't think you're right because I mean a B+ is vastly different than a B. You have to work harder to get a B+. Anyway I just hope you're wrong. Not to offend you or anything. lol</p>
<p>No he's right. They generally disregard them because many schools only give whole grades like A, B, C.</p>
<p>Wait so basically I wasted time and stress trying to get a B+ when a B+ and a B are the same thing???</p>
<p>Basically. But what's important is the extra knowledge you acquired during the process. :D</p>
<p>last yr, my school had solid A's B's and C's...now we have +'s and -'s. lol i have a question -- what's the point of putting a + sign next to a D?? this guy i'm tutoring got a D+ last MP...i mean c'mon now. give him a break. and it was 69.8!</p>
<p>so maybe colleges don't look at the +'s and -'s. however, those things will affect ur GPA. or do colleges redo every applicant's GPA according to their own standards?</p>
<p>^ Most do.</p>
<p>so that's good right? i mean a B- won't be THAT bad</p>
<p>yeah, i got a 91(which was either a B+ or A-) on AP statistics last year.
But our grading system changed, so a 94 is an A, and 92-93 is A-. </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I'll get a B in APUSH and in Spanish. And possibly a B in English this year. </p>
<p>Is is really bad to have four B's in 4 courses? (3 of them are in Junior year) Does that ruin my chance for WashU or Upenn?</p>
<p>And do my high grades(around 98-100) for other classes help to make up for those B's?</p>
