Final Semester Grades

<p>OK, I signed up for an online AP Physics B class because my school doesn't offer it, and for a number of reasons that I would rather not go into, it looks like I'm going to end the class with a B. I've been accepted to Yale and a few other places of similar caliber, and I was wondering if something like this would cause them to reconsider my acceptance. I know that lots of people get in with less than 4.0's, so I'm not being paranoid about it. But I don't want the admissions staff to view this solitary B as not "contingent upon continued strong academic performance in the program of courses * presented in [my] application."</p>

<p>I'm just wondering if they will see this as laziness on my part (which it isn't) and think I'm not committed anymore to finishing out my senior year.</p>

<p>*Also, sorry if this is totally in the wrong place :P</p>

<ol>
<li>AP Physics difficult; I doubt a B will be an issue.</li>
<li>I was accepted to Yale RD also. My counselor says as long as I don’t get below a B I should be okay.</li>
</ol>

<p>Somehow, I think dealing with your first B before you get to Yale would be considered a very good thing. Do not lose any sleep over this at all :)</p>

<p>you’ll be fine. I got my first B in english in my senior spring, and nobody ever contacted me.</p>

<p>B’s won’t do anything to your acceptance at this point. It’s when you start getting C’s that Yale will start to raise an eyebrow at you. </p>

<p>You’re fine. And ditto on what riverrunner said - dealing with your first B beforehand will be a good experience. There will almost certainly be more to come (I’ve accepted this fact at Princeton, and I’m sure it isn’t that much different at Yale).</p>
