<p>I’m a freshman at the Singapore American School (which, by the way, is an insanely competitive high school), and so far my first semester grades are as follows:</p>
<p>English 9: B+ (89%) [this is the one I’m concerned about]
Molecular Biology<strong>: A- (91%)
Western Civilization: A (92%)
Geometry: A (95%)
Algebra II/Trigonometry</strong>: A (97%)
Spanish III: A (93%)
Aquatics: A- (90%)</p>
<p>** denotes an honors course.</p>
<p>I know that compared to many students, these are awesome grades, but I recently heard that a senior at my school got deferred from the college of his choice because he had a B+ in his freshman year. I doubt that this rumor is true, but I’d still like to make sure anyway. Is it possible that such a thing would happen?</p>
