Should I ask my teacher to change my grade?

Applying to College

<p>This is for a Weight Lifting class so I'm not sure if it's important to get it changed or not.</p>

<p>Anyways this is what happened.</p>

<p>I was absent a lot so my grade dropped to a B+ but at the end of the semester I ran a few miles after school for extra credit to get it up to an A-. However, my teacher never put in the extra credit so I e-mailed him and he put them in on the online grading system but apparently grades had already been submitted.</p>

<p>So online, it showed up as an A-.
However, on my transcript, I have a B+.</p>

<p>This is the only thing that prevents me from having straight As junior year so I want to ask him to change it but last years grades are no longer available online so I have no proof except for a screenshot I took of it last year.</p>

<p>Would it really make a difference in college admissions if he changed it or not? Should I ask him to change it? I feel like I should since I put in the effort but I don't know...what do you guys think?</p>

<p>It couldn’t hurt to get it changed. </p>

<p>OP: FYI, many universities exclude the results from non-academic courses, such as this, in their GPA computation. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. Most schools only look at the core classes and compute their own GPA.</p>

<p>What you would really ask is for your GC to rerun the transcript with current grades.</p>

<p>Yeah that’s what I thought since it isn’t a core class. I just thought maybe there was some difference between ‘‘all As’’ and ‘‘All As and Bs.’’ When I look at last years grades there’s a list of 16 As and that one B+ seems to just stand out and glare at me but I guess it won’t make a difference to adcoms. Thanks everyone!</p>
