I’m taking 5 AP classes and the work load is surprisingly easy, but I’m so worried that I won’t maintain my 4.0. I already of a C in Calculus BC and a B in honors chem. It’s not the homework, but for chem its lab reports and the BC calculus tests are nothing like the homework I’m given. I’m terrified I won’t get these grades up because semester grades are factored into my gpa regardless of the final grade in the class. Is putting myself under all this academic pressure worth it? Or should I tone it down and be content with Bs even if it involves giving up dreams of super elite colleges. Are they really worth suffering for?
Super elite colleges won’t rescind admissions if you don’t get a perfect 4.0 gpa. Colleges do like course rigor so try to bring the grades up to A’s. Basically don’t give up by studying for tests and work with friends on lab reports to finish. Eventually i think you won’t “suffer” from the workload.
