"Academic Problems"

Members don't see this ad.

In the University of Maryland secondary, they give a section to explain "academic problems" which could be anything from poor grades, withdrawls etc...

I don't really have any problems, but there are some grades that I wish weren't on my transcript, but they are "B's" I am planning on leaving this blank. Should I bitch about getting a B?

I would leave it blank. B is not an academic problem.

Totally agree with Apparition. B's are solid. It usually isn't advisable to bring attention to your poor peformance (if B's are considered that even) when you don't need to.

if you complain about a B, yo have to assert to them that you are a gunner and i'm not sure how that would look to an adcom, so maybe it's better to say nothing

i'm glad people see things the way i do

Better to leave it blank. B means above average, articulate achievement, but I understand where you're coming from. I once was of the mindset where I probably would have lost sleep over a B. I've since learned to put things in perspective. 😎

I think people are confused about the purpose of this post. I am not stressed out about me B's at all. I just wanted to avoid looking cocky by not putting anything down.

I have been blessed that I haven't had any major academic problems, but I didn't want it to look like I thought I was the shiat but not putting anything.

Final Verdict: I am leaving it blank.
