My senior schedule is APs: Micro, Macro, Latin, English Lit, ES; DE Precal 2 (1st semester), honors french 2, and an academic elective.
Honestly for AP Latin my grade has dropped a lot recently because of one really bad quiz grade, and now I’m worried about what my final semester grade will be. Hopefully I could get maybe a 90-92, but an 88-90 is probably more likely. Will this hurt my college chances at all? This will be my first B in Latin ever.
Also, I’m probably going to get a 93-94 in AP English, and, unless I get above a 75 on my Precal 2 final (which isn’t a guarantee), I might get a B in there too (this class is solely for college credit and isn’t computed into my school GPA because Micro/Macro is technically my senior math class).
Will these B’s and low A’s hurt admissions chances?
I’m applying to GWU, American, Richmond, Brandeis, Colby, Macalester, Tufts, and have already been accepted to Tulane.
I haven’t gotten a B since first semester sophomore year in chemistry, and I only got one grade below a 96 last year in second semester of Apush. But last year schedule was mostly honors with only 2 APs, while this year its mostly APs and only 1 honors so the courses are much harder. I don’t think it would change my cumulative weighted GPA much if at all because of the weighting my school gives to APs. I have a 3.9 UW, though, so my Latin grade might drop that a little bit but probably not too much. I’d still be in the top 10%.
I’m just worried because I got such good grades during my sophomore and junior years that schools will see a lower B in Latin and a B in my college class and think that I was slacking. Honestly, Latin is just so hard for me this year.
