How important is your final high school transcript?

I got accepted into the U and have maintained a 3.4 gap throughout high school. I may be getting a d this semester in ap lit due to the fact my teacher hates me for my high amount of tardies and gave me a 68 on our final paper. I'll be getting as or bs in my 2 other classes. Will this d on my final transcript affect my acceptance to the U at all, or is it not that big of a deal?

I am so fed up with people claiming "basically Ivy League" or "same as Harvard." It isn't. They aren't. Stop trying to make them something they are not. The Ivy League was a league of some of the first colleges and universities. It was a sporting league. Yes, the Ivy League carries with it a great deal of prestige. No, these other schools are not Ivy League. They are not Harvard on the Hudson, or Harvard in Alabama. There is no Yale of South Dakota. Stop feeling inadequate and trying to compensate. You didn't get into an Ivy League School.

Other schools have programs as good as if not better than some Ivy League programs. Stanford is certainly in the same realm. If you cannot be content saying Wesleyan without adding a qualifying statement, then clearly you are not happy with your choice.

He didn't at all say that. He just said it's academically of similar caliber. Are you a student at an Ivy League school? If so, don't be such a stuck up asshole.

Well stated.  You're better off looking up your prospective program and seeing where it stacks up on a national scale.  For instance, my undergrad university is nowhere near the level of prestiege of an ivy, but at the same school the MBA program is on par with the big boys.  take pride in your school!

I've noticed that the people who showed up late to class nonstop in high school while claiming the teachers hated them are the same ones who lasted 1 semester in college.


There's also a fairly consistent correlation between late in high school and skipping class in college.



oh, and i hate to burst the bubble so many high schoolers dream of, but attendance is actually required in a lot of college classes. For credit, and quite a few professors will drop you from courses if you miss a certain number. And trust me, that number of skips is veeeeeery easy to reach.

i said "on par with ivy league," not basically ivy league." i know its not an ivy league and i was just using the ivy leagues as a comparison for the academic level of the school. sorry that was so offensive to you.

well if you're getting a D this semester what did you get the other semester?
individual semesters don't matter, it's what your final year grade is

I had the class first hour or first thing in the morning. I also work till 11 every night washing dishes at a pizza place. Sometimes I have al of of extra homework and need to sleep in 20 minutes. There you go. Obviously I wouldn't be late if I was already at school. And just to let all you ass fucks know who are hating based on the fact they think I'm a a lazy son of a bitch, I studied for 8 hours straight for the classes final, aced it, and now have a b in the class.

dude, you're acting like a butthurt fool. Everyone here thinks less of you because you're whining about a problem you can easily solve and one that should've been avoided in the first place.

Sick. I'm asking a question concerning my college acceptance, as I am concerned about it. No need to freak out on me. This thread shouldn't incite people's emotions unless they are bipolar.

Nobody is getting emotional they are just stating that you come off as a tool and you should quit bitching about your teachers and start doing your work and putting some effort into your schoolwork, then your teacher won't hate you. If you took the hardest AP Lit class then your teacher should expect you to be one of the hardest working English students in your school, start acting like it.

Actually bro you're the one coming off as a tool for being so judemnetal. Why don't you go to the local convent and become a fucking priest. 1. I'm not bitching, merely asking a question concerning my college acceptance. Yes, i did come up with an excuse to why I had a d in the class, bit it is valid. 2. Where did I state I was not doing my work and not putting any effort in. That is another ore conceived notion. 3. Stop acting like you know everything. You come off as an arrogant and judgmental tool. Especially with the /thread shit. If you looked two posts above yours you would see I did well on the final and now have a b in the class, idiot.

Damn, you must be so smart and experienced with your "just wait till you get out into the real world speech." being 5 minutes late to class once a week is really no big deal in the spectrum of things, and at a job it's a normal occurrence for most people. I should have a bias against me due to it. And what makes you think I haven't been out in the real world? What makes you so much more experienced than me and to be able to speak to me in such a condescending manner?

not gonna lie tho, if he works till 11 and doesn't fall asleep till 12, and gets up at 6 every morning to get ready...that's not even healthy. you're supposed to get 8 hours of sleep.

Shut the fuck up, you cocksucking little faggot. You whine like a fucking 12 year old girl. Grow a set of balls, and quit your pussy ass bitching. Being late is NOT acceptable in the real world, despite what your pizza boy dumbfuck self may think.

That's pretty common for me, and I'm stil in highschool. I would get up for school at 6, get home at 3:30, leave for work at 4:30, get home at 10:15, and easily have two hours of homework. And I made it work getting all a's and b's

Haha ar6 must have been raped as a child, so much anger over nothing. Probably sucked too many cocks. Fagboy. Once again, I am not complaining. Neither am I being a pussy as bitch. Last time I checked defending ones self against accusations of being lazy or stupid was okay. According to ar6 it's being a pussy ass bitch. Nice logic ar6

didn't read any other posts in the thread.


but your final one doesn't matter worth a shit, the one that matters is the one at the end of your junior year seeing as you are applying that summer and through the beginning of your senior year and they only want complete courses, atleast thats how it was for us in Minnesota.....nobody gave a fuck senior year not even the way smart kids.

any job I have had you would be fired after being late 3 times, on my first day at the one I was told by my aunt, " you are to be here at 7:00 a.m, if you are 1 minute late you will be asked to leave the property, no excuses. Do not be late." best warning speech I had, boss was a pretty big bitch.


You act like it is no big deal to be late because you have this excuse of working late, maybe YOU shouldnt have taken a job that could hurt you academically? To re-answer your questions, your high school grades wont matter at all just as long as you have a diploma, especially if you go to college.


I really dont get why ar6 is getting shit on either, he states facts, OP calls him gay, he says he isnt into that type of thing and then people start talking about karma.


why do you people care about internet karma? does it make your e-dick bigger?
