<p>OK. unweighted talk. </p>

<p>so i have 1 AP in sophomore year. </p>

<p>THEN. i have 4 APs and an IB in junior year. we can ignore the 4 APs for now. </p>

<p>the IB! is taught by a teacher who "never gives As". its not one of those "if you really work hard you can get it". just ASSUME it isnt even if you don't trust me.</p>

<p>what is worse is that by taking the IB i am actually skipping a level. in our school we have chinese A, chinese B, chinese C all the way to E. chinese A is the hardest. </p>

<p>the IB Chinese A2 that i'm planning to take right NOW, corresponds to chinese B difficulty. </p>

<p>i JUST took chinese D in sophomore year. that means that i'm actually SKIPPING a level, making the A even a smaller possibility. </p>

<p>on the other hand, if i DON'T take A2 and take chinese B, it's like repeating chinese D again. it corresponds exactly to chinese D. that means colleges will know i didnt move forward and actually repeated a level. </p>

<p>CONCLUSION: </p>

<p>OPTIONS:</p>

<p>1)CHINESE A2 = SKIPPING A LEVEL AND NOT GETTING AN A (yes, i can work hard and try to get one... but 5% chance that's gonna happen <_<). if it was a NORMAL TEACHER TEACHING THE COURSE, i CAN handle it though...</p>

<p>2) CHINESE B = REPEATING A LEVEL AND NOT "CHALLENGING", NOT GOOD. </p>

<p>3) Normal Chinese (i can just take chinese C now, which is NOT an IB class) BUT it is PROGRESSION. ... </p>

<p>SO. </p>

<p>FINAL CONCLUSION: </p>

<p>Just how important is it that i get a 4.0 in junior after i got 4.0 in sophomore year? the whole idea of "going up" and improving <_<</p>

<p>Settle down. An A- instead of an A is not a big deal at all. Nobody’s (that includes people here) perfect.</p>

<p>As far as you can tell, is it a question between an A and an A-/B, or an A and a C? If you think you’ll get a C heading in, you may want to reevaluate your options. If you’re looking at an A-/B, then don’t worry about it, just take the class. Colleges would rather see you jump a level and get a B than repeat a level for an A.</p>

<p>ack but all those people who went to those ivies (who am i kidding k) took the class and well, one example i know of, he got an A. </p>

<p>all the other pro people in my school they didnt take ib chinese but another language so taht didnt apply</p>

<p>the thing is, he could gget an A… others couldn’t… UGH that really gets me. and yea, he was pro at chinese. i’m not pro at chinese. he did something to that teacher. all other people pro at chinese didnt get an A. but NOOO the ONE person that i know of who went of an ivy AND took chinese at the same time just got an A! how does that work.</p>

<p>B’s aren’t that bad with your transcript, lol. I’d actually go so far as to say that students who get 1 or 2 B’s by the end of high school, and have an obviously challenging schedule like yours, look more human and seem to have a higher acceptance rate than others…</p>

<p>Friend of mine took up to calc 2 and barely scraped by with a B in it… he’s probably going to stanford.</p>

<p>I don’t think even Hamburger University will accept someone with that mark of shame on their report card</p>

<p>This is so CC.</p>

<p>It’s terrible. You will have to go to trade school and fix motorcycles for a living, you dumbass failure.</p>

9

<p>You are a disgrace to your family.</p>

10

<p>Well, you could always kill yourself and hope you’re successful in your next life. Better luck next time.</p>

<p>Don’t listen to these people, Potentenum. You still have a great shot at doing great things in life. Go to a community college and improve your resume there. After that, I’m sure you’ll have a great shot at a state school.</p>

<p>3.95? three point *<em>**ing ninety-five? </em>. CC for you.</p>

<p>I wish this was a ■■■■■, but I think it took too much effort to be a ■■■■■, which is why this is so sad.</p>

15

<p>ahahhahaahahahahah funnayyyy
honestly, youll be fine. colleges will see u took harder classes junior year</p>

16

<p>Most people can only DREAM of having the problem you’re having. I’m sure colleges won’t be like ‘OH NO, he dropped .05 points in his GPA! He is a ******* *<strong><em>-</em></strong> **** failure!’</p>

<p>Get real.</p>

17

<p>Yeah…it’s not like this is some horrible downward trend. :P</p>
