@whimsicalwhims They are uuseful but take time to do. I personally remember informatin really well with them. That is the entire basis of our grade in History.
Does anyone know what thhe weighted GPA would be if I took 9 APs, 6 CP (gym and stuff) and 15 Honors classes? I put it in a calculator, and it says 4.6, but on other threads, people take 5-6 APs and get the same GPA…
Why is anybody in Science Olympiad trusting me with anything I’m a freshman
Omfggg fg no school tomorrow either wwwtf. Eight-day weekend already omg. I wanna go back!!!
I’m way too hooked on Grey’s Anatomy. It makes me want to become a surgeon really badly.
@Giovuhnni lol
@IrrationalPepsi that’s me with ER (1990s version of Greys Anatomy). The show completely changed me from wanting to be a neurologist in a private practice to wanting to be a surgeon.
I just want to socialize omf
@Giovuhnni that’s me in the summer! But when school starts again, my short quiet introverted friends become 8 foot lumberjacks
@neophite
It depends on what weighting system your school uses.
I calculated your WGPA using my schools system where all advanced classes (honors and AP) add 1 point and with the assumption of all A’s. I got 4.8.
I calculated your WGPA again assuming AP adds 1 point and honors adds .5 points and assuming all A’s. Using that I got 4.55.
@Giovuhnni
I kind of want to go back to school, but I also don’t want school to ever start again.
Sometimes I take the time to make my notes pretty, but I have NEVER looked over my notes.
SAME
We have to make our notes neat, but not necessarily attractive. The teachers like to do note checks, so I try to be responsible…lol…try…
We are supposed to do Cornell Notes, but I rarely do. Imo, you should take notes in whatever way is most beneficial to you. Everybody learns differently.
Has anyone (specifically who’s commented on the whole ShatteredEyes thing about self-esteem) gotten a PM from kandcsmom? I’m trying to establish a pattern.
So, music pictures are today and instead of fully changing, most of the girls are wearing pants under their dresses. LOL.
Uh I Havent
Apparently there’s no school tomorrow either meaning a total of 6 days cancelled.
Guess I can procrastinate even longer.
@awesomepolyglot
What did the message say?
@awesomepolyglot yeah, what did it say?¿
uhhh I had the worst day of my life today.
Algebra II- Got an 83% on quarterly (top 33% of students in course), my grade is now 89.96… within 0.04 of an A-
Biology- I had a shot at an A-, but I apparently did horribly on a poster and now I have a B. I am within 0.2 of a B+ and I need a 90+ on it for a B+ in the class
English- I had an 89.92 yesterday and needed a 91% on an essay for an A-, got an 81 and my grade is now a B.
Modern World History- Went from 90, to 80, to 88. Hoping a test I took will bring it to A-, but odds are low
I embarrassed myself by asking for a bump on the grades the slightest bit and got rejected by every single teacher.
Just for reference, I was nearly all A’s two weeks ago.
I hate my life right now.
FWIW the person explained what she meant and it was only directed at me.
@neophite Just my 2 cents, but if your teachers round up numbers in math problems (sqrt 245->15.6524758->15.7, for example), then they should round up grades that are within 0.49% of being the next number. That being said, they’ve done at least 7.5 years more of school than I have, so…
@awesomepolyglot the way I see it, since our school works on a point system, if a student can significantly change their grade with an extra 1/1 or 2/2 in the gradebook, then the student should be given (or given the opportunity to achieve) those last points. However, teachers see it as altering a grade by 0.5% as (and I quote three of the teachers that rejected me) “1/6th of the way to a higher letter grade” Thanks for seeing my side of it though @awesomepolyglot
No big deal, don’t you have all semester to work those grades back to an A?
@OneExcitedDude He’s on a quarterly system, so I’m guessing this is for his second quarter of four. 
Either way, @neophite , you shouldn’t worry! A lot of people have considerably lower grades after their first year, let alone their first semester/two quarters/half-year of high school.
Even places with reputations of /extremely/ high standards (like Harvard or MIT) will be delighted to see an upward curve, especially if you can take a lesson from this.
Use your experience to manage time better in the future! I bet you can get straight As, no problemo. 
Also, so far as I’m aware, Stanford and Princeton both don’t pay so much mind to your freshman year. If either of those are your jam, then- again, so far as I know- they wouldn’t even bat an eye at Bs during this particular year.
Edit: To boot, I remember hearing that the first half of frehman year is given significantly more slack than any other time. The A is always better, but you could be a /whole/ lot worse off.
