That’s me too! I’m not sure about my schedule, yet… But crossing my fingers that I got my classes I really wanted!
I still haven’t gotten my scores for SAT yet ;/
Alrighty, my first day of summer school starts tomorrow. It’ll also be the first class going on my transcript…hope I don’t mess this up…not to mention that the teacher will be a Science Olympiad coach.
@raventhemage Sounds horrible.
@raventhemage Good luck!
@raventhemage Don’t fail.
@raventhemage aah good luck!! you’re smart, you should do well enough
LOL I’m pretty sure my teacher already labeled me as an irresponsible mess, first I missed the shuttle bus that sends me to school, and then I left my textbook in the classroom, so I didn’t take it home…sigh.
Also my teacher says that my 9th grade class will be the first class that doesn’t have rank (i.e. no valedictorian or salutatorian or any class rank at all), and also the first class that doesn’t put any weight on honors classes… I don’t mind getting rid of rank, but I think honors should be at least a 4.5 weight if they don’t want it to be a 5.0 weight.
It doesn’t really matter. Colleges will recalculate your GPA and look at your classes individually. I rather have a class ranking to see how well I stand at my school.
Same, my school doesn’t rank but you can graduate cum laude if your GPA is in the top 10%. I’m not really sure about the whole weighing scale, but I think you can only go up to a 4.3 (?) so yeah…
I just got my report card. My grades are 97,98,98,98, and 99
My school doesn’t send ranks or tell us our ranks but we still have a valedictorian, we don’t have a weighted scale either but to be able to run for valedictorian you have to have taken all available honors classes and received all A’s throughout high school.
Woot woot, I got my progress reports yesterday for summer school, I currently have a 99 in my class!
Hey you guys! I just started here! I have a few questions for high school! What are you guys doing over the summer? I am taking AP Macroeconomics and HOPE.
Also, I am considering skipping 10th grade? Should I do that? I still can become valedictorian.
@Nkemdirim Unless if you want a gap year, don’t. Only taking 3 years of high school isn’t going to impress colleges (at least from what I hear).
Also…this is really funny… but I think this is around maybe the 5th or 6th time in this thread I’m saying what I’m doing this summer. But it’s okay, this thread is relatively long and boring to read. I’m taking Bio H, volunteering at the nat sci museum, and visiting family.
This might sound stupid but I just found out that the biology and algebra classes I was taking this year are going on my hs transcript. I’m starting off with a 4.0 gpa! Also the honors classes of my Hs are going to be weighted on a 4.5 scale.
Yay! Congrats @Potter3846 , even though I took Algebra 1 and Geometry H in middle school, and took the Keystones (high school graduation requirement in Pennsylvania) for Algebra 1, neither of those grades are going on my high school transcript…which is a pity because I got As for both of them.
Why aren’t they going on your transcript? I mean, is it a school problem? @raventhemage
