<p>So I'm not necessarily worried about "slacking off" second semester, but I'm interested as to the usage of GPA after second semester. If I were to apply for a summer job later on, what pertinence does my high school GPA have? I have a 4.0 now, but I'm concerned that second semester I will receive a "B" in one or two courses as a result of having taken the most challenging classes available. It's just annoying to me :-/ I'd like some opinions on this or links to a related thread as this is likely a fairly common topic. Thank you very much!</p>
<p>One or two Bs aren’t going to sink you. Keep going for the toughest classes: would be my advice.</p>
<p>Concur with T26E4</p>
