Getting a B

<p>Hey guys!
I was just wondering for those of you that got into Harvard, how many B's did you receive? I got 3 and not sure if I already lost my chance...</p>

<p>Let’s see, I think I had nine B’s by the time I submitted my app. That’s like 1.3 B’s per semester, on average. My grades progressively improved, though, and I wasn’t getting B’s by the middle of my junior year.</p>

<p>I have many many classmates at Harvard who got some Bs in high school. Just make sure class rank is good.</p>

<p>Harvard looks at the “whole person.” </p>

<p>Don’t stress too much during high school over getting into one school, anyway, and make sure that you read up on the many wonderful colleges out there. I would say this to a poster who received all A+'s and had perfect SAT’s, too. It is good to look at many options, for everyone.</p>
