weird grade trend

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>Confused about my trend and if it'll affect admissions.</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>Your grades really are in good shape for McGill, based on what I've seen here. Plus, you said you were a music major? I really would spend more time practicing for that audition, and less time worrying about my grades! </p>

<p>Just curious, what are you auditioning? You have to do arias, right? If so, what are you doing. Montr</p>

<p>I am doing arias yeah...for the most part,</p>

<p>I'm singing these songs:</p>

<p>Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento
Drink to me only
lasciatemi morire
se tu mami se tu sospiri
beau soir</p>

<p>so yes, i REALLY hope it's ok for my grades...is it really hard to get in for music anyways? I'm not sure if it's fiercely competitive or not lol</p>

<p>It's good to see that less well known arias aren't always being sung. I've heard La donna so many times I want to scratch my eyes out, but i've never even heard of some of your arias.</p>

<p>Best of luck! I hope you get into McGill, since it has such a great music school. Maybe I'll see you at the met in 10 years! ;)</p>

<p>hahaha! I wouldn't say i'm that good, but thanks a lot for the support :D. That definitely inspires me!! :P</p>
