Hi all, I was wondering if the following situation is going to seriously impact my chances of admission to colleges. In Freshmen year I received a 69 on my local band final. I still received an A in the class for the year, but our school includes finals on our transcripts. I do not plan on continuing in music studies, but I was wondering if, and how much, this will hurt me regardless. In addition I received a 98 on my band final this year if that makes any difference. Thanks
Colleges and universities look at the semester grade, not at individual exam grades. Don’t worry about this.
Thank you that’s reassuring!
At some point you can ask your guidance counselor about what shows up on the transcript sent to colleges. At our HS it is only the final grades but it can vary school to school. In any event I don’t think a final exam in band will be a big problem.
