Weird grade trend

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>Confused about my trend and if it’ll affect admissions.</p>

<p>Here’s the lowdown,</p>

<p>So…that’s the deal…I’ve been busting my butt off this yera, but it doesn’t seem to do me any good b/c the teachers play favorites…and if yo uaren’t them, they give you worse grades (i’ve complained to the school board about it…they dont give lol.) Is this giong to impact my admissions much from what will be on my report halfway through the year? Just curious b/c idk if they are as tough on vocal majors (since you audition and that counts a lot too) as they are for let’s say engineers. Thanks!!!</p>

<p>p.s. By saying the classes are AP level, that means they are either AP weighted and are as hard as AP classes or they ARE actually college classes in hih school, making them pretty much like AP…so in essence, it’s as if i am taking all AP for the most part lol.</p>

<p>anybody? god so many views and no responses!</p>

<p>Possibly no one is responding cause it is tough to know what to say. I am not trying to be harsh, but re-read this part of what you wrote:</p>

<p>So...that's the deal...I've been busting my butt off this yera, but it doesn't seem to do me any good b/c the teachers play favorites...and if yo uaren't them, they give you worse grades (i've complained to the school board about it..they dont give lol.) </p>

<p>That is an attitude that will hurt you much more than a grade trend that is pretty insignificant- if what you are refering to is the fact that while your GPA went up, your class rank percentile went down</p>
