Do B's really really hurt your chances at ivies???

<p>Okay...I feel slightly better now, thanks everyone for all the input! :P</p>

<p>Well, if your final grades are B's (those all the way on the right on your report card), then it can affect your GPA. Colleges look at the GPA, but I dont think it's a big deal if you have a B in a elective course.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know it will affect my GPA...but I can't do anything about that anymore..</p>

sorry to use your thread. I had all A's before senior year, is it bad having 3 B's for my senior mid-year report??? I'm taking like 6 APs. A's in all science and math, B's in rest....... Does this somehow tell the colleges that I can't survive in a hard non-science class, or would they understand the course-load and the stress applying to college affecting my performance?

<p>Same with me.
I just found out today that I had 2, maybe 3, Bs for the semester.
And what makes me angry is that they're all 89s.
These are my first Bs, so they'll make my UW GPA go down to about a 3.93.
But my rank will stay the same and my W GPA will still go up to about a 5.81 out of 6.0</p>

<p>I hope that's still okay. =/</p>
