Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey guys, so I was wondering if one B in an Honors course (weighted) would look really bad on my college application. Now, even I kind of know what I'm asking here is rather ridiculous, but nonetheless I need direct reassurance.
And I'm not talking about just any college app, I mean admissions to a top college.
Please don't attack me.
Just need reassurance, that's all.
Thank you so much.</p>

<p>No. Now eat some ice cream and calm down.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that most on CC would gasp at the sight of a B, but I assure you, your dreams are not yet dashed.</p>

<p>.-_-.</p>

<p>Noo. I know people who got lots of Bs and got into Stanford/MIT.</p>

4

<p>^ Amazingly those two posts made my day. Woooowwwww. And magically, I feel reassured.
Ah, the power of words.</p>

<p>Of course, if you got a B in, say, Honors Home Ec., you will have to move to the Yukon to escape the shame.</p>

<p>But really, put down the paper bag because a B is not the omen of death.</p>

<p>.-_-.</p>

<p>A "B" in which class? It depends, you should tell us.</p>

7

<p>A science class. The teacher is horrible and he's notorious for it.</p>

8

<p>The name? It depends on which class of honors. I don't think it matters, but what class? Not what kind of class.</p>

9

<p>To quote Meredith Grey, "Seriously? Seriously."
A B will not hurt you. Please, breath.</p>

<p>.-_-.</p>

<p>snoopyiscool, lay off on the Grey's Anatomy as avidly as i watch that show i dont remember her saying that.</p>

11

<p>^ I remember her saying that.</p>

12

<p>I really don't think it matters, one B is fine. I doubt you will get rejected over one B, if they do they're ridiculous!</p>

13

<p>Ok thanks again guys. Of course I do not yet know my final grade in that class, but I'm evaluating the effects of a B in case I do get one.</p>

<p>It's always good to put a lower bound on your success.</p>

<p>^ Yeah so that I don't suddenly have a heart attack and break down in the middle of class because I got an unexpected grade.</p>

<p>Psycho - do we need to organize a kidnapping? :D</p>
