<p>I'm pretty worried about my first semester grades, and I might end up with 1-2 B's this semester. Do college really consider the first semester grades. I'm applying to Ivy League schools and I feel as if I have a decent shot at maybe Brown, Cornell or Dartmouth. I really hope my chances aren't wrecked by my first semester grades. Has anyone gotten into ivy league schools with sub par first semester grades, but excellent grades otherwise?</p>
<p>I’d like to know how much these matter too.</p>
<p>Are you a freshman? If so, colleges might be more lenient.</p>
<p>I wonder myself how much weight the 1st semester senior grades carry.</p>
