Ivy League Dreamer BUT A B!!!!!

Applying to College
1

<p>I got a B in PE... now I am freaking out cause most people tell me this is really pathetic. I got this B as a direct result of being injured while playing a sport.</p>

<p>How much will this affect my chances? (Otherwise all A's :D)</p>

2

<p>None.</p>

<p>You’re missing the point. Your chances are really low, just like they would be if you didn’t get a B. </p>

4

<p>The only way we can chance any prospective applicant of getting into a hyper-competitive school is if:</p>

<p>1) the person’s parents donated tons of money to the school,
2) the person is an athletic recruit
3) the person has won some major awards like the IPO.</p>

<p>Otherwise your chances are very low, and will mostly come down to luck.</p>

5

<p>But to your intial freak out trigger – a single B will affect you as much as a gnat biting an elephant.</p>

<p>“Otherwise all A’s” Or is this some sort of humblebrag?</p>

<p>Don’t worry about replying. I read this: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1639301-chance-me-for-ivy-s-will-chance-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1639301-chance-me-for-ivy-s-will-chance-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>And know my answer. (cue eye role)</p>

<p>Humblebrag. Nice.</p>

<p>Most colleges do not even calculate PE grades as part of GPA.</p>
