<p>I didn't get an A+ in AP Chemistry... after getting 100% in both first and second quarter. I got an 85% on my midterm. I'm so mad... I have like a 97.3% something for first semester. I need to get a 98% to get an A+.</p>
<p>How is this going to affect my admission chances? I've applied to all top 25 colleges, intending to major in science.</p>
<p>You’re going to have to retake the course over the summer. Make sure you send in a letter to each of the 25 colleges stating this, so they know you’re not a complete failure.</p>
<p>97.3%!!! My goodness did you sleep through the entire semester. I can’t believe you would even post such a disgraceful grade for the public to see.</p>
<p>No, it won’t make a difference. Many colleges consider an A an A no matter what. I understand though where you’re coming from. At my school an A+ is also a 98% and I’m paranoid about it too. The way I see it, an A+ may help you but an A won’t kill you.</p>
<p>One of my friends was the valedictorian, had a 2400 SAT, and a whole ton of other ECs, as well as being a National Merit Scholarship recipient.</p>
<p>He got an A in AP Calculus BC.</p>
<p>The board rescinded his scholarship and he was instantly rejected from every college he applied to, even Cal State Dominguez Hills. He attended community college, but was promptly kicked out.</p>
<p>He had a double legacy at KFC, so he worked there and slowly rose to the rank of assistant manager of a small restaurant in Oklahoma. He died at the age of 21 from choking on a Slim Jim… The put his body in the fryer and pretended that it was chicken. Somebody ate him.</p>
<p>I can envision a similar fate for you, you poor, poor soul.</p>
