<p>AP Human- A

Honors Bio (difficult at this school)- A
Honors Lit- A

<p>lol you’re fine</p>
<p>your worried about ONE B, calm down, you are fine.</p>
<p>Thanks. schools are extremely competitive and i feel behind. the idea of an uw gpa of 4.0 is getting to me. but this is a little reassuring</p>
<p>No offense, but I want to slam my head against the table every time I see Freshmen making these types of threads. Stop freaking out over a single B. You’ve only been through 1 year of high school. And not every single person who goes to a top school has an UW 4.0. [-( </p>
<p>its very difficult to look at one purely academically, because if your ecs also should be pretty good to go to a top school</p>
<p>A lot of schools don’t even bother with freshman grades, anyway :)</p>
<p>Lol ok then you can go slam your head</p>
<p>And thanks for the other replies</p>
<p>IDK the B hurts but just try harder the next two years. I got a B in AP Gov 1st semester, so next year I know to try harder in my AP classes.</p>
<p>@Yakisoba thank you, finally someone acknowledges that Bs are hurtful. I think I’m capable & ready to work hard (I was pretty stupid this year.) Sorry about your B & best luck.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it too much. I used to be upset about getting Bs in math when I was very young. It’s good to b showing interest! I would recommend doing some practice problems on khanacademy or something and seeing what you get confused about in math (if at all) , because it can diagnose your issues pretty well. And don’t worry, one B in freshman year won’t kill you and you have an opportunity to learn from it!</p>
<p>You shouldn’t even be on this forum as a freshman. Do good in school. Take your exams. Come back at the end of junior year. A lot of colleges won’t even care about your grades for this year.</p>
<p>one B during freshman year won’t ruin your chances of going to a top-30 school!!! Don’t overreact, its hardly hurtful if at all. You’re not sub-par, not everyone gets all A’s. You can be more than fine if you do well the next couple years, and not dwell over one B.</p>
<p>Rereading my thread and thinking it’s a little stupid… :/</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice and kind words @galaxyexplorer and @Nithin
I’m just going to brush the “B sting” (lol) off and move on. I have 3 years of high school, so I’ll try to take advantage of my opportunities rather than dwell on a grade that I don’t like.</p>
<p>@AnnieBeats I’m here to get informed. Starting early doesn’t hurt.</p>
<p>Yes it does hurt. You are gonna start comparing yourself to other students and your confidence will go down the drain. Leave CC. Come back in a few years.</p>
<p>@AnnieBeats pls, 99% of people on CC have compared themselves to others their whole lives. Hell in 3rd grade we used to brag about being able to read Harry Potter (back then 400-700 pages was a lot)</p>
<p>@Yakisoba That doesn’t make it right.</p>
<p>Who says it’s wrong? It just makes you work harder. And besides, the way I see it, OP is still gonna go on here no matter what anyone says</p>
