<p>Just out of interest: how much will it matter if I got a couple of A-'s and a B+ in freshman year? I heard that there is a certain number of B's you are allowed to get before you have no chance at any of the Ivy League schools... or I may have been misinformed. :)</p>
<p>A very, very false rumor.
But, remember that it's a personal choice if you choose not to try your best.</p>
<p>Freshman year is VERY VERY IMPORTANT! Don't blew it. A couple of A- and B+ is okay but did you follow your passion? Pick your passion early and nurture it to the highest level and you will be okay. Don't focus too much on grades as much as you should on focusing in doing what you love (Extracurricular Activities and independent study).</p>
