<p>Ouch. My senior year didn't go as well as I planned. I was so determined to get As on mid-year report. In first term, I got As in all courses but AP English. I then spent a large amount of my time on college app. and SAT prep because I applied early to Princeton. After a while, I felt like I was finished with school. I became less motivated (not unmotivated) and started to have grades slip. However, I still maintained As and some Bs in second term. But, I didn't do well on mid-term exams that were worth 20% of my grades. So, my mid-year report might look like:</p>
<p>Leadership A
Hon Physics B (As in class but failed mid-term exam)
AP Gov't B (As in class but failed mid-term exam)
AP Calc A
Photo II A
Study Resources IV A
AP Bio B (A in one term, B in second, barely passed mid-term exam)
AP English B </p>
<p>How will ad coms, especially from Ivies, view this? Will they automatically reject me? I just feel so sad and disappointed with my grades.</p>
<p>Hm...honestly? They probably won't be very happy with the B's.</p>
<p>Some people need to get over themselves.</p>
<p>You're not in any danger and you know it.</p>
<p>Yeah, but I got deferred from Princeton. So, I have to do very well on mid-year report. Obviously, I didn't. :(</p>
<p>Quit crying over spilled milk. </p>
<p>If you don't get into Princeton you'll still get into an excellent college.</p>
<p>Like County Community College. If you're lucky.</p>
<p>oh hairy potty i understand your concern, but at this point i think all you can do is hope for the best...</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>What constitutes a B at your school?</p>
<p>Do you think you'll get into Princeton with any B's at all? If you have a B in your <em>name</em> you'll get waitlisted, much less your transcript! </p>
<p>I'm just kidding. Seems like you're taking hard classes and doing well. B=alright...just keep up the work until you get accepted. good luck!</p>

85-92 is a B

<p>That's harsh. In Canada, 86-100 in an A, and 73-85 is a B.</p>
<p>Shesh, I wanna move to Canada - we have the same grade scale as you do hairy. </p>
<p>I didn't say this earlier, but good luck with everything. You will definitely get into an excellent school, don't worry about that.</p>
<p>92 is a B? Not even an A-? Maybe you should write to them and say that or something.</p>
