<p>My son had a 99% average in high school with a full load of AP's/college classes. First semester at Harvard as a bio-chem major, he got 3 A's and 1 B+ (had an A average going into the final, but wrote way too much on the first few essays and ran out of time. leaving a full quarter of the test out--a real learning experience in time management!). Second semester: 3 A's and 1 A-. Worked extremely hard, especially in his physics class. Also must mention, he was just notified of receiving an expository writing award!</p>
