<p>Hi I'm a senior who's applying cornell RD.
I'm taking three classes this semester (that is the max # of classes for our school's weird "block schedule" of finishing a regular school's year long classes in half of a year)
Anyhow, I managed to get straight As in SPANISH 4, AP ENGLISH LIT and AP STATS on the first "semester" (or quater in regular school system)
However, I'm currently working on the second "semester" grades for the same classes, but I'm getting an A in Spanish 4, B in AP English Lit and B- in Statistics... (this is just progress report, and real grade will come out next january...)
Would these two grades hurt me if I had been a 90% A and 10% B student so far?
How importantly does Cornell look at the midyear report of 1(possibly 2) A and 2 Bs for admitting a student??</p>
<p>Also wondering the same thing . . . grades have dropped this semester from usual 90+ (A in Canada) to a 85~ (A-)</p>
<p>have a very challenging courseload, but I hope I can pull it up come midyear report time</p>
<p>Um.. you're scaring me. 85?? I have like a D in math.</p>
<p>well, a D here in the Canadian system . . would be a 50-59 . . and I think you'd have to try to get that bad</p>
<p>geometry and discrete math is killing me
and plus, you're already in! :p</p>
<p>math is my worst subject. I think I did well on my test today so hopefully I'm not failing anymore and maybe I'll have a C now :) haha... ugh, I'd try to fight the senioritis but I'm just way too lazy.</p>
