<p>I applied ED but my first quarter grades are not going to be strong at all (they should be ready in 2 weeks). I'm taking 5 APs and am getting B- in the two hardest. How much will this hurt my chances?</p>
<p>Hi Collegegrl88,</p>
<p>I'm applying early too. What I've gathered from meetings and talking to my admissions officer is that senior grades are really important. However, getting one B will not be detrimental to your success. If you get in under ED than most likely they will only see your grades after they have already made a decision. Therefore, they would only check up on your grades to make sure you're not getting multiple C's or showing a tremendous decrease in academic achievement. Basically, I do not think your B or B's will be a detriment to your acceptance. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for your response. I am nervous because we do need to send first quarter grades for ED. I think that I am getting 2 Bs - in AP macroeconomics and AP chemistry. I have never gotten less than an A- before now.</p>
<p>I think as long as your grades arent dropping too much below what they were last year it should be fine. One or 2 B's out of 5 APs shouldnt be too bad.</p>
