<p>Hi and thanks for taking the time to look at my question.</p>
<p>I am taking AP Biology and I have a B+ in the class. The highest grade in the whole class is an 11th grader (2 grades higher than me) who has a 91. How will colleges know what the highest score and lowest score (I think someone got a C-) are for my high school class. I am thinking of transferring next year or the year after (for junior year AP classes) so I am in a big confusion. I need to get into an ivy so my future lawyer career will get off on good footing.</p>
<p>you're taking AP bio as a freshman with a B+ and you're worried?
Wow - and I thought I was paranoid about grades.
One class will not hurt your overall transcript, especially a B+.
Colleges look at the whole person.</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. Do the best you can and your law career will start off well regardless.</p>
<p>since when is a B bad....penguin..when i was freshman, i had a 3.7 overall GPA then got my gpa to be 4.46 by end of junior year. guess what...ucla, ucsc, uc berk, ucsd, uci, ucsb accepted me. stanford, columbia didnt come. dood..cannot beleive a freshman is worried about grades. college dont really put weight on freshman year. just focus soph, junior..and maybe a lil senior.</p>
<p>Why do you need to get to an Ivy? Many LACs, non-Ivy private universities (like Georgetown, Stanford, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt) and state universities (like Cal, Michigan, UVA etc...) send hunderds of students to top Law schools annually. </p>
<p>As any rate, many universities don't even look at Freshman grades. I know for a fact that Princeton and Stanford don't look at Freshman grades. Many other universities look at Freshman grades, but weigh Sophomore and Junior grades much more heavily. </p>
