how bad will this affect me??

<p>hey guys,
so i just finished sophomore year and ended up with a B in AP US :( so now my overall UW GPA is a 3.84(since I got a B in AP Bio last year). If I get straight A's next year(which I can, since I picked classes I am stronger in and the teachers are easier from what I hear), I'll have an UW GPA of 3.89. Keep in mind that my WGPA will be around a 4.70 and that I have taken the most difficult courseload possible(including a several class skips). My school doesnt rank, but I'm definitely in the top 5%. My school is a competitive public school.
Will this GPA hurt my chances of getting into yale? I know it won't kick me out of the running, but how badly will they look upon this?
Thanks for any input</p>

<p>Your grades (and apparently your course load) will be good enough. Assuming your standardized test scores are good enough, a lot will depend on your teacher recommendations and your essays. Also, if you happen to be an Olympic rower, a movie star, a Kennedy, or one of the best high-school linebackers in Texas, that would help, too.</p>
