I currently have a 3.9 UW GPA. We have finals next week, and I think I may end up with a B in AP Chemistry; however, I have A’s in all my other classes this semester. Can a B in AP Chemistry hurt my chances of getting into top tier colleges like Rice, JHU, WashU, UChicago, etc.?
Any comments will be very much appreciated!! Thank you so much!
No, 1 B out of all A’s(esp. in AP Chem) in your senior year will likely not be the difference between an acceptance/waitlist/rejection
I’m in the same boat as you. I have finals next week and it looks like I’ll most likely be getting A’s in everything except a B in AP Physics. I know it won’t make the difference, especially since it’s one of the hardest classes at my school (probably second to Calc BC) so I’m just relaxing, not stressing, and I advise you do the same.
Thank you so much guys!! That was really helpful 
I agree I don’t think the B will matter in such a difficult class
Thank you!!
hypothetically speaking, would it matter for AP English Lit if you were looking to major in English/History/etc.?
