<p>Does anyone know just exactly how much weight schools put on first semester senior grades? It looks like I'm going to end up having a B+ in Physics (89.83)... :c</p>
<p>This is what you’re worried about? If this is the first B you’ve gotten, the bigger problem is you probably didn’t challenge yourself very much.</p>
<p>I understand that college admissions is a nerve-wracking time but you’ve taken leave of common sense, menacing. You honestly think a single grade of a B+ is going to be a determinant factor?</p>
<p>If you’re a borderline student (like I am), don’t colleges look at your first semester senior grades more closely than others? Like it could be the tipping point of either a yes or a no :L</p>
<p>Not sure what you mean by “borderline”, but please try not to worry. If most of your grades are As and you get a B+ in a difficult subject like physics, you are doing fine, at least in terms of your grades.</p>
<p>Try not to worry, you are fine and anxiety is normal.</p>
<p>My hunch was right. You’re pretty off kilter (UW GPA: 3.95,-WGPA: 4.21).<br>

<p>So what precipitous drop will befall your GPA? *borderline student * … pfft.</p>
<p>@MrMom62 I have taken all honors and AP courses offered since 9th grade and my first B ever was in Physics so I feel his pain. i was also worried about it because I was applying to college as an engineerong major. So yes, it is possible to get all As in high school while taking difficult classes</p>
<p>Oh well. I guess I can’t change it now. Thanks for the replies guys. </p>
<p>By borderline student I meant borderline applicant due to crappy EC’s and awards.</p>
