<p>I made a topic on this awhile back, but it'd probably make more sense to make a new, more general one.</p>
<p>I have several classes in which I have Bs in, and unless I'm overreacting, it's haunting me.</p>
<p>does your school let you retake classes you got b's in? here... we're only allowed to if we get a D or lower. :(</p>
<p>I'm telling you man, I don't think retaking a class is going to impress the admissions people...but I could be wrong. I simply don't see how getting an A in a class you've already taken would demonstrate your abilities. I mean, you already know the material, you will have the benefit of hearing lectures twice...</p>
<p>The only reason I would retake a class would be for personal benefit, if doing so would be useful to my educational development. And even then I wouldn't "retake" it, I'd simply sit in on the lectures.</p>
<p>No point in dropping any amount of money on something you've already paid for.</p>
<p>B's? B's?! That is nothing less than failure! </p>
<p>Seriously, it's okay. Just move on with your life.</p>
<p>i retook a B in spanish, got an A, which gave me a 4.0. it got me to the school i wanted to go, but do with that info what u will, though i wouldnt recommend retaking a bunch of B's - i dont see that being looked upon favorably</p>
<p>for better or worse i cannot retake classes at my schoool... otherwise i would retake math. However, their is something to be said in it not all being about the grade. I am taking a class with a guy who wrote the definitive analysis of plato, and the guy who taught the airforce what we now use as our airpower doctrine.... that is worth getting an A- in my book</p>
<p>I know it's hard to believe when you're a paranoid overachiever on this website, but sometimes Bs mean you did really well.</p>
<p>I agree! Since when did B's become a bad thing?? I mean yes, a 3.0 wouldn't be competitive for transfer but, a 3.5, 3.7, 3.8? Those are wonderful GPA's! This thread drove me crazy the last time it was up. I swear by the time I have children in college, everyone will be freaking out about A- grades.</p>
<p>I'm starting to think there's a fine line between the two words "success" and "obsess"</p>
<p>I'm not saying they're bad, but I am saying that I'm sick of worrying about it all the time and thinking that I may have blown my shot to live the way I want to academically.</p>
<p>Again, take it from someone who's gone through this all many many times, and finished:</p>
<p>One or two or even four Bs in your college career are not going to preclude you from success.</p>
