<p>I’m currently in 9th grade and plan on applying to St. Paul’s, Kent, Brooks, NMH, and St. George’s. I got an 83% on the SSAT and should get great reccomendations from my teachers. However I don’t have all A’s, I will have a B in Honors Math and Honors Biology but I still have a 4.3 GPA. Should I be worried about those 2 B’s?</p>
<p>Straight A’s is not a requirement for any school, even the most rigorous. You’ll be fine. You can’t do anything about the past anyway, so why worry about it?</p>
<p>Thanks for the response, I hoped that was the case, but I couldn’t ask anyone about it because I live in an area of the US where going to boarding school is unheard of.</p>
<p>^^ I agree. Choate, one of the top BS, reports that the average GPA for enrolled (or admitted?) freshmen is 3.74 or something, which is an A-. 4.3 is perfectly fine.</p>
<p>colleges like it better if you take harder courses and get a b than getting straight a’s taking easy classes :)</p>
<p>^ this is, in most cases, false, especially at schools where gpa isn’t weighted.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about whether your own school weights GPA. The AOs do their own weighting, and they do notice honors courses. They will look favorably that you stretched yourself academically. </p>
<p>Are u a very good hockey player?</p>
<p>GMTPlus7 Yes I’ve played AAA hockey for 4 years and have been in contact with the coaches at all of the schools</p>
