Grades - lets make each other feel better lol

Hey, for all of you worried about getting your admission rescinded, lets post iur final grades here. Maybe mine will just make you feel more confident.
I don't know my grades yet but i'm looking at worst

A+
A
A-
B - was an A- midyear
B
C - was a B midyear

other grades stayed [pretty close to] the same

Hard Schedule though, more like, bad teachers.
These grades aren't that different from my midyear though, 4 As, 2Bs.
I don't know what happened to me this year. I was a straight A student in 10th and 11th. I think it's mostly my teachers this year...

you guys think i'm safe though?

you cans post ur grades too [only if you want of course ]

I think you're totally fine. I am freaking out, however, about getting a 61 in Biology this six weeks! Actually, I'm not too worried, because Princeton will only see a final transcript grade and I will have one beautiful big P to represent a PASS (I took the course pass/fail to avoid 4 hours of completely pointless busy work every night).

Otherwise, I've got all As and another Pass. The only thing that makes me nervous is the fact that I'm not taking 2 AP tests that I signed up to take...will that be a problem? I did take FIVE IB exams (3 of them HL) and two other AP tests...so it's not like I was slacking off this month. Do you think it's a problem?

I've got A-, A-, A-, B+, B, B-. Let's just hope this holds up through the last few weeks of school...I had straight A's at midyear . Haha slacking = the best.

I really really really really doubt you or I will get our admission rescinded.

if princeton sends me a letter, at least i can say my peers dont think i should be rescinded

yea, i was always under the impression that pton kids would be crazy and maintain straight A+ averages throughout their whole HS careers, but even the best students, by best meaning princeton, have a few blemishes on their transcript

My GPA was 6.00 (equivalent to 4.00) midyear, but I am afraid it may fall down to 5.90 (3.90), because I may have a 5 in Geography or History. I thought this was scary, but I guess not?

I think something would have to be pretty extreme to actually be rescinded.

And I'm saying that even though I'm pretty paranoid about everything.
Whatever, we'll all be fine!

It's nice, at my school, the teachers are all kind of slacking off too, and lessening the workload a lot. I'm only sort of slacking, and am just not doing any extra credit that involves extra effort....
