<p>My EC's are solid, but my grades freshman year don't look so nice
2 B's in English H
1 B in Bio H>>>>>>> 2 A's in AP biology this year
1 B in Chemistry H>> 2 A+'s in AP chemistry last year
-my only B's are in freshman year since i had trouble adjusting to high school with my Dad leaving for work in China and my Mom belittling me on everything i did...
-What mainly concerns me is that I am an Asian male applying to top colleges with my grades. For a school like Caltech, B's in English may be ok, but not in any math or science courses, in which case i have two.</p>
<p>Please comment and thanks a bunch!</p>
