For context, im an incoming freshman at CMU.
I was wondering if either of these could be a reason to get rescinded.
I took AP Gov and AP Chem. I did good on gov(most likely going to report) but did terrible on chem(probably going to get either a 1 or 2)
Title.
I was thinking of not studying as much for one of the APs because of finals & projects and will probably get a pretty bad score. I was wondering if it was required to still report that score.
Also, can I get rescinded over getting like a 1 or 2 on an AP Exam?
Incoming freshman taking 5 classes:
AP Chem: B+
College-Level Writing Class: B- (might be a C+ by the end of semester, hopefully B-)
Online Spanish: A
Online Gym: A
Dual-Enrollment Statistics: A
What are my realistic chances of getting rescinded? Pls be honest. Im panicking and so are my parents.
Also, A is the highest grade we can get. Our school don’t do A+. Same with the dual enrollment class.
This is the situation I am in rn.
I know this may come off as arrogant, but Im genuinely curious.
Please give me honest thoughts.
Edit: I got in for statistics + data science, but will be minoring comp sci as well
All Bs? A couple Cs? A D?
Im just curious
So I know everyone will hate on this because I might be over-paranoid, and I have seen way worser cases on this subreddit.
So I didnt use a condom, but my gf has been on birth control for 3 months ish now. She uses it perfectly, meaning every day at the same time and havent missed once.
We had sex like this without a condom for 3 months now, she was fine for the first two months, but idk I got this wave of hyper-paranoia rn for no reason. We had sex 4 times this month from what I recall, and her period is supposed to be next Tuesday. Also, I didnt cum in her but I did outside.
Realistically, what are the chaces? Im mostly just trying to get reassurance. Pls dont hate, just give me honest feedback. I know in my heart she isnt pregnant, but my mind is playing games with me.
My family keep telling me that I shouldnt only trust birth control, and that getting pregnant is easier than I think. I was fine mentally for the first two months, but now im stressing.
I KNOW IM OVERLY PARANOID. PLEASE DONT HATE.
So I’m taking 5 classes, but have 2 B+ in AP Chem and a writing class, one A- in a dual enrollment stats class, and the rest are As in 2 online classes.
What are my actual chance of getting rescinded? I’m so worried and paranoid.
In every school, there are probably going to be a group of students who are considered the "smart kids," meaning 4.0 GPAs, 1550+ SAT scores, and crazy extracurriculars and awards from competitions.
But they're not really "smart."
Your school grades reflect how "hard working" or "lazy" you are, not how intelligent someone is. I personally think intelligence and grades have 0 correlation. School is mostly busy work, not "hard" work.
Lets say, for example, there are 2 students. Student X averages all As, while student Y struggles to keep up with Cs. Student X submits a particular assignment in time, while student Y doesnt, per usual. Does this mean X is somehow more "smarter" than Y? No. It just means Y is probably more lazy. The assignment itself is almost never hard. It just takes time to compelte it.
Same with tests. People have this conception that the students getting 95s or higher are just naturally smart. That is not true. The "naturally smart people" just spend more time studying. While an average student spends 30 minutes studying for a test, the "smart kids" will spend double or triple the amount, so obviously their score will be higher. Not because they are "smarter," but because they spent more time on studying.
We all have this stereotype that students who go to top colleges like Harvard are some kind of genius. From my experience, this is NOT true. I am personally friends with 2 upperclassmen that are currently in Harvard, and I can say with confidence they are NOT "geniuses." You know who goes to these colleges? The people who spent the busiest lives in high school goes to schools like ivy leagues. Yes, there are some exceptions, like if young sheldon were an actual person. But what im saying is, its not the "smartest geniuses" that gets into these colleges, but rather the "biggest hustlers" in high school, accumulating grades, test scores, awards, accomplishments, and extracurriculars during their 4 years of high school.
So does good grades correlate with how intelligent someone is? No.
Does it correlate with how much of a hard worker someone is? Yes.
