Hi I am a freshman and I am starting to become extremely stressed.
This first semester of freshman year it turns out that I might have either 4-A’s and 3 B’s or 3 A’s and 4 B’s or 3 A’s, 2 B’s and one C+
The B’s in my class are completely explainable,
The first B I have is a religion grade-- I am still making a transition from a religiously diverse school (a school with multiple religions) to a completely Christian school - I am
still adjusting- the school before had no religion what so ever
The next B I have is in my physics class, I was doing a lab with a partner but he would never cooperate with me and do his work which dropped all of our grades.
The next B is in math- I am normally great at math because first quarter I received a A in the course, but the second quarter I received a solid B. My teacher wasn’t at class when we all took the test so it dropped all of our grades because we were not able to ask simple questions.
My Gpa right now is in the 3.8 to 3.85 range because underneath all of those semester grades is largely A’s- They are B’s because of averages between a B grade and an A grade-religion math science
Do I have a chance to bring it back up for the next 7 semesters and be considered as a great candidate for HYPS+ other Ivies
I have a hook with me also
I would have better grades but I’m balancing out extra activities with Grades unlike most people I know who just get good grades and do nothing.
Hook: African Female, fluent in mandarin Russian French German and Arabic
-I want to do international business
What I mean by extracurriculars, on evenings I take college level courses to strengthen my fluency
Oh and I’m taking SAT+ ACT prep rigorously
Please help.
