Sadness

I just got my A&p I grades back and I got an A- in lecture and B+ in lab. I wish I could have at least gotten an A- in lab because admissions are on a point basis and anything in the A spectrum gets 4 points :( oh well. Gotta kick butt in A&p II!

I have just gone through the same disappointment in chemistry :down: But it's fine! God has a plan!!!!! :) And B's aren't bad they just are not competitive. After getting a B in this lab i'm sure you will only improve and get an A in A&P 2 :yes:

I talked to my teacher after class, so I may be getting a different grade. Eh we'll see!

Even if you don't, don't be down. I got a B in A&P I and a strong A in A&P II

Just make up those lost few points on the teas or whatever test required for admissions.

No harm no foul.

Type A is supposed to be optimistic also :)

This is only likely to be an issue if you're marginal on the points. One point usually isn't going to be a deciding factor. If your program is entirely merit/points based, then yes, one point could make a difference. My program has a minimum points criteria to get entry to the selection pool. If your points are equal or greater than the minimum, you're qualified. Their minimum is 65 points. If you have 64, there are usually ways to get some extra points to bump you above 65 points. It's all spelled out exactly how to get points.

The point is, don't sweat it, but certainly advocate for yourself. If you feel you earned a different grade, say so. Just be able to competently and confidently state your reason why you earned a different grade than what was recorded.

Thank you all for your replies! I ordered two books for the teas since I took it a couple years ago and bombed. I hadn't taken any sciences yet though... I did really well on the hesi though, and ok on the nln. I already started reading for a&p II which starts in 2 weeks! :)

Ugh I did the same thing in Chemistry. Went from an A- to a B+ because of the final. I was so disappointed. Thought I did so well! But we can try harder to get better grades in next classes! :D
