Lazy Teacher Rant
Frustration with My Biology Teacher I’ve had my fair share of teachers, but my biology teacher definitely ranks among the least effective.

Getting 5s on the AP exams is a significant achievement, as it typically indicates a strong understanding of the material and can earn you college credit or placement. However, how your grades (Bs) in your classes affect your overall academic profile can depend on several factors:
Context: Colleges often look at the rigor of your coursework in addition to your grades. If you’re taking advanced or AP classes, Bs might be viewed more favorably compared to if you were taking an easier curriculum.
Overall GPA: Your GPA is important. A few Bs might not weigh heavily if your overall GPA is strong, especially if you have several 5s on your AP exams.
College Preferences: Different colleges have different admissions criteria. Some may prioritize AP exam scores more heavily, while others may focus more on GPA and class performance.
Extracurriculars: Strong involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and recommendations can also bolster your application.
Personal Statement: Your application essays can provide context for your academic performance. If you can explain any challenges or highlight growth, it may help mitigate concerns about your grades.
In short, while Bs aren’t ideal, strong AP exam scores can help balance your academic profile. Focus on maintaining a strong GPA and highlighting your strengths in other areas of your application.
