so i applied to yale and was deferred, this isnt really about yale, but school in general.

so im in AP european history…first quarter 98, second 95, semester exam 94…final semester average 96! UGGGGGHHH.
at my school an A is from 89.5 to a 96.4
and an A+ is 96.5 and up.

SOOOOO CLOSEEEEE

and on top of that, we had a test on the last day of the second quarter that for some reason does NOT count on the second quarter, and i got a 105 on it. so if it actually counted on 2nd quarter i would have an A+ for the semester.

so basically yale and other colleges will see AP Euro-A, NOT AP Euro 96 because my school does not send averages, just letter.
and i think 96 is ALOT better than an 89.5 and should be in a catagory above. but no my school is dumb.

im like crying right now…college is getting me soo emotional. am i overreacting? has anyone had any similar experiences?i know its just one grade…but still im really upset. it would have brought my gpa to a solid 7.8 instead of a 7.78 (my schools grading system is dumb, i have a 4.0uw tho)
