<p>If I got a B in Lit in Freshman year but have As for all other classes does that mean im screwed for top schools like Stanford?</p>
<p>Yes. Top schools accept only students with 4.0s.</p>
<p>really? can i get some other opinions on this?</p>
<p>I was kidding, jeez.</p>
<p>Look at the data for Stanford – [Applicant</a> Profile : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/basics/selection/profile.html]Applicant”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/basics/selection/profile.html). Plenty of people get in with even <3.70 GPAs (and I believe this is weighted, as the first option on the chart is “4.0 and above.”)</p>
<p>one B does not kill you. unless your high school makes it easy to earn A’s.</p>
<p>my school is like full of smart asians and my school sends out around 20 validictorians each year. I no that this 1 B will kill my class rank, but how much will this class rank hurt me?</p>
