Freshman year:
Grades so far (not exactly b/c no progress report yet but it’s kind of easy to calculate based on tests): Straight A’s cept for English which should be an A- or a borderline B+.
Now hilariously my worst subject is Art which I probably have a C+ in or a B+ if I’m lucky. The only redeeming factor is that the art teacher usually rounds up grades (pretty leniently). How much trouble am I in? I am aiming for Ivies and did this just demolish my chances?
Im a freshman too, and I just wrapped up my 1st trimester my grades were Straight A’s except my Art class which was a B+ and my English which was an A-. Weird how we had the same scores :)) I was worried about the same thing but I realized that ivies typically use core class grades when they calculate GPA. It’s also freshmen year the year colleges care the least about. I think we will be just fine!
Relax. It’s freshman art. Go talk to teacher and see where you need to improve. It is way too early to start worrying about Ivy chances. You will have many more opportunities to screw up (I meant that to be encouraging).
While it may affect your rank, ivies only look at core classes when re-calculating your gpa. Besides, it’s freshman year.
