How much will a B+ in AP AB Calc senior year hurt my chances

Applying to College
1

Welp, I got an 89.45 overall in my calc class, and 89.5 is the cutoff for an A, and my teacher refuses to round up-- which I guess is sort of understandable.
I have A’s in three other APs this semester: Macro, Lit, and Spanish. My GPA this semester is a 4.5. I also took three APs last year and averaged a 4.41 GPA.

I’m applying to some relatively competitive schools (like Tufts, UCLA, etc.) and I’m wondering how much this will hurt my chances. I’m not a stem major and am going to be studying the social sciences.

It will not hurt you at all. Relax :slight_smile:

Nope.

You’re perfectly fine.

A B+ in that class is actually very good. It will not hurt your chances.

6

Maybe if you are applying to MIT or Caltech. But I would say that even there it won’t matter.

The reason it shouldn’t hurt because you’re not saying stem. That’s all we can know. And that the competition is tough. Do your best in the app/supps and be proud of that. And have some nice safeties you can afford.
