What is considered a good grade in an AP class?

Applying to College

<p>So freshman year I kinda slacked off and finished with a GPA of 91.667 UW. Sophomore year I brought myself back and finished with a 95.889 UW GPA. I’m currently a junior taking 6 AP classes; however, I only have consistent A+'s in AB calc…I’ll most likely end the year with between a 90 and 95 in the other ones. Will ivies be okay with A-'s in these classes? I’m taking AB calc, AP Microeconomics, APUSH, AP Language and Composition, AP Bio, and AP Chem. If it helps, I’ll probably get 5s on all of them except APUSH.</p>

<p>A-'s should be fine, although you should always be trying to get the best grade possible.
I’m sure getting A-'s in all AP classes is better than getting A+'s in all regular classes.</p>

<p>An A- in an AP class is fine. Colleges are probably more interested in your AP exam score, in which a 4 or a 5 is a typically a good score. A 3 is also considered passing, but might not always guarantee credit at a university.</p>

<p>Colleges are most interested in your rank. So if others are getting As and you don’t rank near the very top, ivies will be tough.</p>
