I am a high school senior and I have accepted my offer to USNAPS, but I am having an issue with my anatomy class where I have a 45 and there is nothing I could do about it at this point. All my other grades are:
Calculus scholars: 82
English honors: 86
Government: 98
Music: 97
Gym: 82
Would my offer be rescinded due to anatomy?
Maybe a more interesting question is, how do you get an 82 in Gym??? Maybe things have changes since I was in HS, but basically all you needed to do for an A in gym was to:
1. Show up
2. Put on gym clothes
3. Participate in whatever lame "gym" activity was going on
4. Not get in a fight
5. Shower and get dressed
I could usually accomplish all of those each day and make an "A".
Actually DS had to “study” for HS gym class! His school would teach them how to play a particular sport and they would also need to learn the history and significant elements of the sport which were part of the grade. Personally I disagree with “class time” being an element to PE because it takes away from the physical activity. Imo our kids need more physical activity not less.
As to the OP, it’s too bad you weren’t offered a different instrument or something if you were injured. If you had a note from your doctor stating the injury and restrictions, you probably would have been offered some other options. It’s not a factor at this point.
It sounds like you are a good candidate and they see your potential. This one grade shouldn’t be a deal breaker.
Good luck at NAPS!
