My first 'B' :(

So I’m a 10th grader, just finished first semester and just got ny first B in high school. Hilariously its an 89.4 and since my school doesn’t have the +/- system its worth just as much as a 79.5. Anyway, this B is in AP human geography. This semester I managed to get an A in AP Psych, AP Stat, and Eng 2 Honors (only 4 classes per semester). While my GPA is still somehow higher than almost everyone in my grade and school, this is B is ticking me off an a whole other level. I don’t exactly want a ‘what are my chances’ from you guys, but would a place like Duke or MIT still think about me and love me if I have a B in an AP class? Since I know the first response is going to say something along the lines of “they will look at everything about you”, here is everything about me:
-4.47 weighted GPA (All A freshman year with 5 honors classes)
-several ap classes (present and future)
-works at chick Fil a
-on swim team (not that fast but still)
-frequent debate club
-was featured in yearbook for acedemic stuff
-potential Cisco job shadowing thing
-programming (Good with Java, still learning)
-learning how to make mobile apps (trying to have one or two published by the end of the year)
-Die hard gamer (love rocket league)
-great sense of humor
-haven’t been suspended yet

Will they still love me?!

Yes, they will still love you and I doubt this will be your only B so learn to accept it.

Yes they will. Just put it behind you and focus on the classes in front of you. You’ve got this!

OMG guys I actually got an A in the class. My Powerschool wasn’t updated

Congrats! That’s nice surprise. :slight_smile:

Regardless, expect to get a B someday. Don’t get too stressed out when it happens. It sounds like you are doing very well.

Take this opportunity to “debrief” yourself and figure out why your grade was lower than you wanted—did you slack on homework, study less than usual, struggle with certain types of assignments, etc.? That will help you going forward.

oh no I got an A its all good. my teacher put in the pre-curved exam score (i actually had the 2nd or 3rd highest grade!)

Closing thread as the discussion is now moot.
