<p>How important are the first quarter grade reports? I’m a bit nervous because I received mostly B’s this quarter; however, I have taken 11 AP classes, I have a 94 GPA (I received almost all A’s for my course grades) , and I have a 32 on the ACT. Hopefully this grade report won’t bite me in the ass. Applied to Pratt btw. Good luck to everybody today!</p>
<p>Well we know it matters or else they would not ask for it. How much is the question. And you will always have people that will have also taken the same amount of AP classes (or more) and have all A’s on their first quarter report. Also, maybe it depends on what the B’s are in. If it is science and math it probably matters more for Pratt than if it were art and music. So hopefully with the holistic approach to admissions, it won’t kill you, especially if you are super strong in other areas. :)</p>
<p>So is it true that if someone is an intended humanities major but had to take a lot of AP math and science classes and got A-'s or B+'s in them, it doesn’t matter that much?
I got straight A-'s in AP physics chem and calc BC this quarter…ugh</p>
<p>Oh god no anything but an A-!</p>
