<p>My DS had a straight A average through Junior year. 7 APs, Physics C Mech and E&M, Chem, English Lang, Statistics, Calc BC, Music theory, all 5’s. SAT 2370, SAT 2 Math 800, Physics 800, Chem 800, National Merit Semifinalist, State Governor’s school in science participant., ABRSM Grade 8 Distinction Piano, Principal violist in 2 local orchestras as well as at School orchestra, Science Olympiad medalist National and States, Future Problem Solving state runner up. So far so good. But this year as a senior he enrolled in two very tough honors college courses in Math and Science at a nearby Ivy League school to challenge himself in addition to AP US History, AP Lit and Human Anatomy in high school. It looks like he is going to get B+s in both college courses (Final exams were disappointing) and B+ in AP US History. Will this sudden rash of B’s affect his chances for admission to selective colleges when they see his mid year transcript? I do not want to share my worry with him, he is such a great kid, and I suspect that he is worried too. I just hope that he won’t suffer a major disappointment. He has only applied to the Ivys and the local state University (he has been accepted to the honors college there, full ride scholarship). We (his parents) think the state college is wonderful, but hope that his dreams will not be dashed. Please let me know what you guys on the forum think.</p>
