I’m a freshman this year and I know that I’m a little freaked out. My semester grades are all As but 4 of my final grades are Bs(89&88). Both the finals and semester grades will show on my transcript. Will this affect my chance of getting into an Ivy League? Also, I did poor in my English class , I chose to take on-level/academic English class instead of honors, I signed up for honor English sophomore year though. Will this also affect my application? Thank you guys so much!!!
LOL no. Freshman grades will not have a heavy impact on your college apps. If you take Honors English next year, it will probably show AOs your English abilities.
Thank you so much!!!
@phalaenopsis Your grades from your finals show on your report card, but I doubt that they are reported on your transcript. Most transcripts show only semester grades. Go ask the college counselor at your high school.
The bigger issue is that your grades on your finals seem to be less than you are capable of. You may want to talk to your teachers for suggestions on how to better prepare for next semester’s final exams.
Thank you!!
