How much is a B+ going to hurt me for competitive colleges?

Read as top 20.

I have a 90.89 in precalc honors right now. My final is tomorrow. I need an 86 to keep my A-, and I just don’t forsee it happening.

I have an A in all my other classes, precalc honors is my hardest and worst class by far. I want to go to a top 20 school. How much is getting a possible B+ going to hurt me?

Thanks in advance. I wish I had never taken this stupid class.

Try not to focus so much on college right now, just focus on doing your best in your classes. If you’re having trouble understanding the concepts, see the teacher for extra help or get a tutor. A single B+ is not going to be the only thing to keep you from a top school, just like a 4.0 unweighted GPA isn’t going to be the only thing that gets you in. Try not to get too caught up in the college prestige issue…your life will not end if you don’t go to a top 20 school. Millions of students don’t, and they turn out fine. Take a breath, do what you can to help yourself in your class, and it will work out.
