<p>I'm a sophmore right now and this year I'm taking the hardest classes possible. The thing is, my English teacher is the most strict, vocab-freak in the whole school.
We've only written ONE essay so far this whole year, couple of grammar exercises, and vocabulary every week. Did I mention her "famous" vocab quizzes are nearly impossible to get an A on and it takes up the majority of each marking period's grade?
Based on my grades for the last three marking periods and mid-term, I'm pretty sure my final grade in that class will be a B- or a B. Will that hurt my chances in getting into an Ivy?</p>
<p>Yes. You seriously need to think about which community college to attend and lease that Volvo.</p>
<p>NONONO.</p>
<p>Yes, yes it would. Getting a B- in sophomore English is the equivalence of killing your parents and then sell their flesh to the Butcher. I'm surprise the FBI hasn't take you, you sick bad-vocab taker.</p>
<p>Rank is the most important factor at most top colleges. It will only hurt you in general if others got an A.</p>
<p>get the F*** off this goddamn website!</p>
<p>YOU WILL DIE.</p>
<p>That B is reason enough to just stop trying. I would recommend culinary school. I don't think you have to spell what you cook on the menu.</p>
<p>I guess the responses in this thread answer your question?</p>
<p>Um hi, can I have a Quarter-Pounder with cheese? Oh yes, super-size that would you, please?</p>
<p>I predict “would you like fries with that?” in your future.</p>
<p>Get ready to shelve deodorant forever and ever.</p>
<p>Obviously…</p>
<p>Since the original post was in 2007 I think the OP’s future is already set.</p>
