will 2 A-s hurt my chances for a top school

I’ll give it to you short. trying to go to Vandy. i’m finishing junior year. 2 APs, strong A’s in both of them but two A-s, a 92% in algebra 2 honors and a 93% in chemistry honors.

i know that an A- isn’t bad but these are just honors classes. freshmen and sophomore grades were all A+s so sucks that this is the year overanalyzed. am i still good?

You’re fine. A-‘s are great grades.

Fret not. You are doing fine.

Yes, you’re fine.

Amazing how many kids recently are freaking out over an A- and asking here. An A is an A. The adcoms will look at your transcript.

But understand it takes more than A grades and a good essay to get into a competitive college. Be informed. Because you have time to fine tune your activities and work on makling the best presentation-- but not if you have little idea what does matter, as part of the whole.
