<p>On my high school transcript, A-'s are shown, but they are still weighted as 4.0 or 5.0 if in an AP or honors course</p>
<p>90-93 = A-
93+ = A
for my school</p>
<p>Do they look significantly worse than A's?</p>
<p>Also, how many B's would you estimate you could get throughout all of 9-12th grade to get into an ivy league? These B's would be in AP or honors courses. (For the average ivy league applicant, who are usually stellar)</p>
<ol>
<li>Ivy League schools look at your application holistically, which means that your ECs, test scores, recs, and essays are also very important factors and can offset a not perfect GPA.</li>
<li>Most students admitted into the Ivies get a smattering of As and Bs throughout their high school. ITS NORMAL. and acceptable. you dont have to be a 4.0 student to get into harvard. muuuch more important than that is the rigor of the classes you’re taking: if you have taken the hardest curriculum available and gotten a few Bs, you will still be more impressive than a classmate with a 4.0 and no APs.</li>
</ol>
<p>thank you fuzzyfirebunny</p>
<p>I am taking pretty difficult classes, but would you say they are rigorous enough?</p>
<p>Last year in sophomore year I took the rigorous class possible, but in junior year, I’m taking 3 AP’s and 1 Honors course (plus language and newspaper staff)</p>
<p>The most rigorous case would probably be 5 AP’s, if i took out newspaper, but is mine still rigorous enough?</p>
<p>Also, sorry to digress, but would being an Editor in chief senior year of the school newspaper outweigh getting A’s in two AP classes? (Newspaper is a 6th period class every year)</p>
<p>Thank you in advance for all that help</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppp</p>
