Hello,
I am taking the hardest classes. I think I might end up with like 3-4 B’s on my first grading pd. But if get straight A’s again on 2nd grading period, would it balance out? I’m just nervous because I got 3 B’s my junior year and all only one B my freshman and sophmore year combined. I’m doing ED to WUSTL.
