How bad is a B?

<p>How much does getting a few Bs impact college chances? My sophomore year I got a couple Bs in a few subjects I'm normally pretty good at. However, were honors classes. I know colleges want to see all As in all classes, no matter what the level, but I tried my best and spent so much time working on assignments for these classes, but I still ended up with Bs. Do colleges understand that sometimes a B is the best you can do, or will this affect admission decisions? I still have my junior year, but I'm not sure I'm going to manage to pull off straight As this year either.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what to do, I'm really worried this is going to keep me from getting into the colleges I want to because I'm not getting the grades I thought I would.</p>

<p>It’s all about what school’s you’re aiming for. If its top 20 schools and other kids in your grade can get straight A’s, then yes a B isn’t so good. If you’re just aiming for a state school or some above average school, focus on junior year, try to ace it, and you’ll be competitive for some scholarships.</p>
