<p>I've heard people say that colleges don't care as much if you score a "b" in harder classes. I am currently a sophomore taking classes that I think are considered hard- 3 AP's last year, and 3 this year, with all A's. However, I'll probably get a "B" in a class that most consider easy, simply because I'm terrible at the subject. How will this affect my chances for getting into a good college?</p>
<p>What class? Is it just going to be this one isolated B, or are you going to get a B in it every year?</p>
<p>And if it makes you feel any better, the only class I ever got a B in (so far…knock on wood) was gym.</p>
<p>Spanish. And this is the last year I’m taking the class. I also got a B in it last year.</p>
<p>An upward trend would be good, if you could get an A this year.
But I’m assuming this means you’ll only have two Bs in Spanish on your transcript? That probably won’t be all that big a deal, but of course it’s best to get As whenever possible.</p>
<p>And does anyone know if Colleges count weighted GPA?</p>
<p>@MediocreFox - Colleges do not consider weighted GPA because they really cannot be compared since there are such different scales amongst schools - they’ll either use a reported UW GPA or they’ll recalculate it to their own scale.</p>
<p>Won’t kill you. One isolated B is perfectly understandable (especially if you’re not going Ivy).
If it helps, my lowest grade to date was in Creative Writing.</p>

<p>As preamble said, they don’t consider the weighted GPA number your school calculates. But they do consider course rigor and class rank, so if your school ranks on weighted GPA you’ll want to have a high weighted GPA.</p>
