I took a prereq class this summer and I thought I would be receiving an A but I received a B+. I was hoping for the A so that I can email the schools with an academic update saying I aced the class. (Especially the schools that gave me a waitlist for interview)

Now, I’m contemplating if I should
mention it or not since I received a B+? Any advice?

you're going to have to mention everything in the end anyways.
don't worry, a B+ is fine

I just didn’t want to “highlight” it...
Can I just say I took my prereq this summer and that’s it? Haha. Or most people follow up with the grade they received?

I mean... you do you girl lol
if you don't want to report your grade then you're not forced to... but it's a pre-req so it's going to have to be reported sooner or later

on the other hand, if you're thinking about hiding you're grade from them, then that's unethical bc all applicants are supposed to report our grades
that's why they have that national student clearinghouse lol...

Lol, oh no I'm not trying to hide it from them. I already updated it on my AADSAS and I've already requested my updated official transcript.

I'm just wondering if I should stress that I received a B+ or if I shouldn't even mention it in an email update. B+ doesn't sound as convincing as an A haha..
 
ohh, in that case I would suggest just mention that you updated if you were to email them.
You don't have to highlight the B+ if you don't want to bc it'll be there anyways.
good luck in this cycle! 🙂
