<p>Dear All, merry christmas 1st of all! or kwanzaa, or hanukkah! or !</p>

<p>my question: </p>

<p>are bs in ap classes bad?
i heard that ivy league admissions have holistic approaches, but i have many b’s in 9th, 10th grade, and in 11th grade i hoped to get all As, but there is a b+.</p>

<p>note: i am from a very competitive international school, that has high school diploma and ap diploma instead of ib program.</p>

<p>9th grade
english a
german a
math a
sport b
ap-prep a-
history a-
orchestra a
music a
geography a-
spanish a
biology b+</p>

<p>so 2 bs</p>

<p>and 10th grade: many. how can i explain i went through hard times in this year in my essays?</p>

<p>german a
math a
history a
choir a
orchestra a
spanish a
chemistry a</p>

<p>english b+
art b+
geography b
sport b-
ap prep b</p>

<p>another question: do they count sport and music and art?</p>

<p>now 11th grade, i thought i ll go crazy in school work and cut down some of my activities.</p>

<p>ap english a
ap spanish a
ap german a
ap calculus b+… sadly
ap biology b+… sadly
ap us history a-
ap comparative govt. a</p>

<p>so my gpa is going up and up and up, should i cut some classes?</p>

<p>senior year workload:</p>

<p>ap english
ap spanish
ap chem
ap physics
ap art history
ap psychology
ap statistics
ap euro history
probably they will be mostly as and one to two b+s.</p>

<p>i took and am taking all the aps in my school available. </p>

<p>selfstudying: i got a lot of time in may and summer :slight_smile: did all my activities and such in freshman and soph years. i know i can handle it. i dont want to sound cocky, but i think ill manage 5s on most of them.
ap macro
ap micro
ap us gov
ap env science
ap human geography
ap world history
ap calc bc (maybe) </p>

<p>now… do the people want effort, like this? or will they be caring about my bs in soph years?</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I’m wondering how you can take 9+ subjects each year? My school only has 7 periods per day o.o</p>

<p>You’ll be fine. Rigor of course-load is factored in, and no admissions officer will look down on you for those grades in those classes.</p>

<p>^^ We could take up to 10 classes if you personally decide to take one early in the morning before class actually starts and one after school</p>

<p>^serioulsy? Wow! what a school! BTW, that actually sucks!
No good morning/good afternoon for you then…:)</p>

<p>thanks guys, for such helpful responses!</p>

<p>its great to know that they consider rigor of the schedule in their admissions.</p>

<p>at james: i can make it to 10 periods per day</p>

<p>at high: thanks! i wanted to make up for rather mediocre 10th grade</p>

<p>at xx: ours too!</p>
