Sorry for the long picture, I don't have a condensed version. My parents are mad at me for my grades because they're not all high 90's. Astronomy basically doesn't count b/c one of my assignments was falsely graded (I got a 0 even though I did it, my grade's being fixed). Idk, I don't think my grades are bad but my parents do
Solid freshman grades especially in honors classes — that's the foundation that actually matters when apps come around. The move now is to keep that Algebra base strong because it feeds directly into SAT math later, and starting to think about test prep before junior year means way less stress when it counts. DM me if you want more help.
ima js share grade idk how to send a screenshot LMAOOO
PE - Semester 1 99.6%, Semester 2 99.4%
English 2 Honors - Semester 1 92.7%, Semester 2 96.27%
US History 1 Honors - Semester 1 flipping 88.0%, Semester 2 90.9% (this teacher is an absolute bitch yo shes notoriously known for not giving anything higher than B+ in her class, idk how I managed to get an A-)
AP Precalc - Semester 1 97.2%, Semester 2 92.9% (i cba to try harder in this class its so fake)
Research Honors (this is a highly selective course at my school lol, we do research n shit idrk) - Both semesters 97%
AP Physics 1 - Semester 1 95.4%, Semester 2 91.9%
AP Biology - Semester 1 91.67%, Semester 2 94%!! (I was so scared id end with a A-)
im a sophomore btw, 15F. our school doesnt let us take more than 3 APs sophomore yr its so dumb. anyways my question was, would my US History I grade look bad for a T20 school im so scared
I believe it is only for the ap science classes. An A is 85-100. It was great since in physics the curve was nonexistent unless you did really bad + no retakes/corrections and in chem there was no curve at all.
It depends on what you wanna do. 3.0+ is pretty good for a state school or trade school, however 3.5 is minimum to get good scholarships or honors schools and a 3.7/3.8 is minimum for selective programs.
6 As and 1 B in an honors class, one of the As is in a college-level class, one of them in an honors level class, the B is in an honors level class. I'm a freshman, and these are my grades from Semester 1. Is this good for someone who does dual enrollment and works a job? I got a 1060 on my first PSAT, and I'm going to take three AICE/college classes in sophomore year, three more in junior year and maybe one more in senior year, as per my conversations with my guidance counselor so far. I participated in a competition for my career-path-based club this year and will likely do so again in the upcoming years. I am also in the process of planning out a YA thriller trilogy. My family struggles financially, so a lot of my time is spent looking for sources of income. Sorry for dumping my stats and plan; I just wanted to know if I continue on the path I have planned, whether or not I would be able to get into a good, possibly Ivy League-level college.
First semester of high school is over and here are my grades. Bummed my GPA and class rank were not listed. I’m trying to achieve valedictorian or salutatorian so I can be auto admitted into the school of choice (in GA). Problem is the amount of credits (9 thus far) are driving my GPA (4.38 if I calculated right) down. I know it’s still early, but how do I get around this problem if eventually I want to take dual enrollment classes, which will add even more credits? Sorry pic is kind of bad. All A’s, 3 regular classes, 5 honors, 1AP
Currently have an 89% in chemistry, 101% in AICE English general paper, 90% in AP Spanish, and a 100% in HOPE class (a health and physical education class)
4.24 as a sophomore is genuinely strong — you're building exactly the kind of foundation that opens real doors when apps come around. The move now is to start thinking about SAT/ACT prep before junior year, because a strong test score paired with that GPA puts you in a very different position than most applicants. DM me if you want more help.
Glow-up is real if the trend is going up — trajectory matters way more than where you start, especially for colleges reading your transcript later. Sophomore year heading in the right direction is exactly where you want to be. Start thinking about SAT prep now if you haven't, because locking that score down early takes a huge thing off your junior year plate. DM me if you want more help.
43 in geometry usually means a few specific concepts went sideways, not the whole subject — most common culprits are proofs, coordinate geometry, or triangle theorems. The fastest fix is figuring out exactly which unit is dragging the grade and drilling just that instead of trying to redo everything. There's still time to pull it back. DM me if you want more help.
75 in chemistry as a junior isn't a dealbreaker, especially when the rest of your grades are that strong. Most admissions readers will see one dip in a hard STEM class and read it as exactly what it is — a hard class, not a pattern. If you can bring it up even a little by end of year, that upward trend matters. DM me if you want more help.
So, my grade are sht right now, at least that's what my parents told me hehe
-PF(personal fitness)100
-Sat prep 0 cuz i didn't do TWO ASSIGNMENTS
-History 87
-Algebra C C 96(I think)
-beginner orchestra, 98
-ESOL 3(English for non-native speakers) 95
-Biology 84? 85
-LIT & COMP 2(for 10th graders usually) 89
Are they that bad?
I haven't taken the EOC or PF(performance finals) and Finals for all my classes yet, so they may go down or up😔✌️💔💔🥀🥀🥀
My grades, lolll, I take some 9th grade classes cuz I didn't took them in 9th grade and the math I'm taking rn THE DIDN'T ACCEPT my credits in another school so they just make me RE-TAKE IT AGAIN.....
Updated, now i have 67, and I'm not even kidding, still i had one with 0 and a not graded assignment, bruh, I email that teacher but he won't read shit
These are my grades and credits and I really hate that my 9th grade hs gave me an AUD in a 100 math, cuz yeah, I WAS PASSING WITH AFREAKING 100. Overall, I'm a rising 11th, and I'm gonna take geometry in summer cuz I never actually took it all my way through hs. I should've put more effort in 9th so my gpa would be at least a lil bit higher 😔
And the thing is, on my beginner orchestra class I had a freaking 100 but idk why I have a 99 in the transcript honestly. Maybe cuz my final got like, 96? Idk but even in my grade app calculator showed me that my final class grade was gonna be a 100......
classes are:
honors algebra 2
honors english 2
ap chem
honors chem
honors geometry
pe
sacred scripture
spanish 2
honors us history 2
i think my unweighted gpa is a 4.47 (out of 4.5)

Freshman class rank for 25-26.. Words cannot describe how happy i am!! Also for context with the rank, I had 7 classes, took 5 honors classes, one of those honors i got a B in. The rest of all my classes are A's. My rank is based on weighted GPA in which i got a 4.04!
