<p>So far, I have pretty good grades. The problem is, I went from 1 B and the rest As in 1st Marking Period to 2 Bs and the rest As in second marking period. Do you think this will have any great negative effect? Its not like I gave up, I basically worked as much as before, but one assignment screwed me up. FYI, the class I dropped in is AP Chem. Any answer (especially one from admissionsdaniel) will be appreciated.</p>
<p>wait r u rd? or early deferred?
uh in my opinion (which i know is nothing compared to admissiondaniels), i dont think 1 more B is gonna do anything. as jhu has said many times, they look at the whole application package, they wont scrutinize at one little B and reject you.</p>
<p>Early Deffered
I knew I had a small chance, so I was trying not to screw it up...</p>
<p>This post is similar to a chances thread, so I doubt admissionsdaniel will be replying.</p>
<p>Don't worry, you're fine. One B in AP Chem is probably coupled with a lot of the natural stress that comes with senior year. Hopkins will take this into account.</p>
<p>As I have said numerous times...</p>
<p>(1) senior grades matter
(2) trends matter
(3) grades are reviewed in context of rigor of curriculum
and
(4) everything is taken into account</p>
<p>admissionsdaniel, my province had a strike for two weeks so the entire system has been pushed back and I won't be receiving a final mark until march 15. So should I send an update later on or just send in what i've got now?</p>
<p>If you mid-year report will not be sent by Feb. 15 because a delay with your school that is OK. Just have your school send the report when it is available and include a note of why there was a delay.</p>
<p>Sanosuke, is there a reason you got that extra B? Perhaps your counselor can explain it on the mid-year report - whether or not that is an especially hard class in your school, super-super-rigorous courseload at your school last semester...etc.</p>
<p>The class is cake; I just forgot to hand in a homework assignment. The MP before I got a low A, and b/c of the assignment, it went down to a high B. There's really no excuse, but since I'm taking a lot of other APs, I hope it won't matter too much...</p>
<p>good luck!!</p>
