<p>I got a B+ and an A- in the classes I took at Harvard Secondary School Program this summer and I'm planning to apply to Harvard. Is a B+ going to be looked down upon or does it not matter? Thanks...</p>
<p>Don't sweat it.. if that's the only mar in your career congratulations.</p>
<p>OMG!!! A B+ you're ruined!!!</p>
<p>Haha jk...it probably won't even affect you. A B+ is still a very good grade at Harvard.</p>
<p>It shouldn't hurt, but the kids that I know that got in from SSP all got A's in SSP. If you are an outstanding student though, those grades will not hurt you. The SSP will have very little effect on the admissions decision.</p>
<p>Naw, I don't think a B+/A- will break your application. It probably won't really HELP your apllication, but they won't look down on it.</p>
<p>That 'B' will kill your academic record and any future career you might have been considering. You might as well be a registered sex offender, or a murderer on parole. McDonalds will only consider you for employment on their Compton graveyard shift as assistant janitor.</p>
<p>Don't pay the application fee and use it to pay your gas bill later when you are surviving on government food stamps.</p>
<p>Geez. Take it lightly. Give a guy like me a chance. A B is insignificant. It is just a number among hundreds of factors they take into consideration.</p>
<p>"Don't pay the application fee and use it to pay your gas bill later when you are surviving on government food stamps."</p>
<p>Ha ha, where did you come up with this stuff?</p>
<p>A B wouldn't do much, but believe me a C starting from Junior year onward = automatic rejection.</p>
<p>My SATs are at the lower end so I wanted to prove that I am at least a little more adept than they might suggest. I was hoping that my Harvard grades would help (even just a little) to show that I'm simply a bad test-taker, so that's why I'm worried about the B+.</p>
<p>How will these grades look to other schools that I'm interested in? i.e. Bowdoin, Wesleyan, Barnard, Brown?</p>
