<p>Let's hope I don't sound arrogant. I just have high expectations. </p>
<p>I want to know how heavily top tier school take GPA into account.
I am a junior, last semester I had a B in AP Physics and this year I have a B in AP Physics and AP US History. </p>
<p>Even though there are numerous other things that make me stand out, is it worth letting my progressively worse GPA stop me from applying to top tier schools?
I'm talking about MIT, Caltech, Ivy Leagues, among many others.</p>
<p>I can try to explain how I learned from the experience taking 4 AP classes and two college courses. I can try to explain how I like an academic challenge and try to get straight A's with 5 AP classes next year.</p>
<p>But it's junior year! What should I do?</p>
<p>...Yup, I sounded arrogant, haha. But help please! I want to know if I should bother applying... not to "overestimate" myself or anything..</p>
