<p>Hello. I've been lurking around for a while and just signed up now.</p>
<p>I was wondering - how would MIT look upon a C+ or B- in AP History? I don't like History very much, and I kind of slacked off in the first marking couple of marking periods in it. Everything else is fine, though. Also, would getting a 5 on the AP History exam kind of "make up" for it? I show great dedication in math and science, it's just History that dragged me down. I'm a sophomore, by the way.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>The admissions department does not like to see C's. Make sure you get at least a B-. 5's are always good :)</p>
<p>Do the admissions folks take into account that some of us just aren't foreign language people? I mean, I use to have all A's in french, but it's got to the level where I can make a B. I mean, I am not complaining, because my skills aren't that great, but still, will A B in french hurt one?
I am a sophomore too BTW.</p>
<p>I never had above a 93 in french (which my schools considers an A) and I got into MIT.... </p>
<p>yeah but I'm a loser, so make sure you get all A's!!!!</p>
<p>B in foreign language is fine; I had a B+ in English junior year and I only took foreign language for the first two years</p>
<p>Also, does MIT appreciate someone who pushes their curriculum past what it's supposed to be? And do they like someone who takes 4 sciences (I love science)?</p>
<p>this is just a wild guess, but I'd say YES</p>
<p>I got a C in World History, but a 5 on the AP test and I was still accepted. A lot of my grades sucked actually; I am not sure how I got in.</p>
