Grades in High School Courses and Selection

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvey Mudd College

<p>Hi! I am 9th grade and am thinking about going to Harvey Mudd College because science is my passion. I am in all-honors classes. I am also taking Geometry/Trig 2 and am wondering that if I get a "B" for the entire 9th grade year for this course...will that affect the College's decisions about me (if I apply). In my school, "high school" actually begins in 10th grade and 9th is considered part of middle/jr. high school.
In other words, since I have a B for year in the Geometry course, am I already ruled out for selection at Harvey Mudd???</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Not at all. A friend of mine got a B in freshman science, and still got in. Mudd looks at much more than one aspect, they look at the whole person.</p>

<p>of course not! perfect grades are not required, especially in your first year. just keep up the good grades, take the advanced classes, and you're on track.</p>
