<p>I’m a sophomore and just finished my ap world history class. The first semester I got a solid 93, but in the second semester I got an 89.7 (0.3 points away from an A, so disappointing). </p>
<p>Questions:
If you get a B in one semester and an A in the other and the average of the two is still an A, can you still say you’re a straight A student? </p>
<p>How will this look to colleges?</p>
<p>Since AP classes are generally weighted more I would say you are fine- the schools probably will not even see anything but the final grade on a transcript anyway. You are still an A student.</p>
<p>That’s still an A. You’re good.</p>
<p>For the record, 89.7 is definitely a B and colleges won’t consider it an A just because of how the high school weights. Whether or not colleges can tell you got a B in any part of the class depends on how your school calculates grades, though. If all they record is the average, all colleges will know about is that you got an A.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter. If a college rejects you with the B, they would have rejected you without it too. </p>
<p>And there’s never any reason to refer to yourself as a straight-A student in the first place (it doesn’t have an official definition or anything). You may as well just tell the person your GPA.</p>
<p>First of all, an 89.7 is no big deal. You will get an A for your final grade.
In transcripts, your final grade is shown so colleges will not know that you got a B in that class :)</p>
