<p>if i get a B this year in AP lang and composition, will it hurt my chances at top 20 schools?</p>
<p>i got a B+ in english freshman year, an A in english soph year, and i'm afraid that i'll go down to a B again this year (just by seeing how things are going).</p>
<p>english is my worst subject, and i've gotten A's in everything else so far, and don't see a problem getting an A in all of my other classes.. how much will one B hurt me?</p>
<p>Won’t kill your chances since it’s an AP class, and a B is good in college. If you had a C or a D, then I would be worried. Can always make it up if you get a good score on the AP exam, but you’ll be accepted by then.</p>
<p>well, i’m a junior now, and i doubt i’d be able to do THAT well on the AP 
english is by far my weakest subject, and i have an EXTREMELY hard teacher. he’s actually known in my school as being the hardest grader and having the hardest class. he’s a great teacher, and i learn a lot, but i’m worried about my grade. >.<</p>
<p>normally a B wouldn’t matter too much .. but i’m aiming to get into a top 20 or even a top 10 school. gahhh. considering that my SATs/EC’s are good, it wouldn’t hurt me too much, right?</p>
<p>How is one B going to ruin your average GPA…come on, it will have very little affect on getting into top 20.</p>
<p>…but you did end up sounding extremely obsessive. You’re fine.</p>
<p>Only on CC is this normal.</p>
<p>Oh, the obsessive CCer.
Don’t worry. You’ll get in where you get in.</p>
<p>nope u better just get ready for community college cuz i think that b puts any university out of reach</p>
<p>Nah, you’ll be okay. I got into six top-20 schools (rejected by three top-20 schools) with a 3.85 (unweighted - we didn’t weight), which is obviously more than one B.</p>
<p>ah okay. thanks guys. hahaha sorry. just looking at CC makes me nervous … people who get straight A’s and close to perfect SATs don’t get in to top schools .. so you know, it worries me.</p>
<p>Remember… </p>
<p>CC attracts the best like fish to a glowstick… If you look at our acceptance rates to top colleges, the percentage here is far higher than the national rate.</p>
