<p>Well, im taking Art this year as 1 year of it is required to graduate at my school and this semester i might be in danger of getting a B because the Art Teacher actually critiques every piece of art like it's Studio Art AP instead of Art 1, will this look bad on my transcipt to some of the top colleges like JHU, Duke, WUSTL and the Ivys?</p>
<p>Good question. One simple B will not mess up your potential standings to gain entrance to those top schools that you just mentioned. This is coming from a person that has taken Art 1 through AP Studio Art. If Art is a problem, then speak with your Art teacher about it. Get to know her, and speak with her after hours about being more lenient in terms of grading your art work... It is not as simple, though if you establish a relationship with her early on, keep practicing and getting constant feedback on improvements. Tell her to physically work out what she expects of you. You will see art isn't that hard. :-p </p>
<p>A 'B' especially freshman year or sopohmore year will not kill your chances at top elite schools!</p>
