<p>I am taking all AP classes this year (senior year) along w/ a college course at a CC. My school adds ten points to all AP grades. I have a 72 w/o 10 points in AP chemistry, which looks like a C right? But at my school, the grading scale goes 70-73 D, 74-79 C, 80-89 B, 90-100 A. The Conditions of Admission says to notify them if I did not meet the requirements... but i was thinking, our schools grading scale is so weird is it smarter to just not notify them and hope Berkeley doesnt notice? Im not trying to be dishonest, I just want to know what is the best thing to do. Thanks for you opinions.</p>
<p>Is your final transcript going to read 72 or 82?</p>
<p>72 is fine dude.</p>
<p>it's going to read 82 B</p>
<p>You are probably going to be fine because your transcript is going to read as if you received the B anyway. I doubt they spend time pouring over adjusted grades and seeing how many people actually earned C's or D's but got the bump from AP.</p>
<p>More troubling is your attempt to justify "Do you think it'd be fine if I didn't mention to them that I haven't satisfied their requirements even though they specifically asked me to notify them if I don't satisfy their requirements?" as anything other than dishonest intent. Even if you are in the clear in this case, the question wasn't "Does it count?" but "How might I prevent them from knowing how it really is?"</p>
<p>Not troubling enough for me to start a debate about it or lecture you about dishonesty or anything. 9_9 Consider it an observation.</p>
<p>If your transcript reads 82 B, that is your grade, as far as I can tell.</p>
<p>^ i know what im asking sounds dishonest, but i was just unsure on how Berkeley views a 72, as a C or a D and whether i should write them a letter or not... im really sorry but i was reading all the rescind threads on this forum and was getting freaked out</p>
<p>You're not being dishonest at all, it doesn't sound dishonest at all.</p>
<p>It was the phrasing of the question that rubbed me the wrong way. I understand the anxiety that drove the question. That's why I didn't feel the need to berate you for trying to cheat the system or anything.</p>
<p>In a situation like that, I would assume that Berkeley is aware of how your school system grades during Admissions but is less likely to care when they're verifying that you've completed the Conditions of Admissions. It's not that they won't -- your school undoubtedly sent some kind of profile, which would detail things like how their grading curve operates -- but that they might not bother to double-check something that's so close and niggling.</p>
<p>thank you guys! i'll think i will just write to them and explain the circumstances</p>
