<p>I guess I sort of have a problem. I took a college class during junior year on top of my high school classes (I wasn't required to take this class in order to graduate or at all for that matter). I just took it online. </p>
<p>However I got a B- in it which at this school, a B- is a 2.7. This class is an introductory class to my intended major (Environmental Science). Will this hurt me in college admissions? I am aiming for SUNYs.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>bump…anyone willing to help? That will be great!</p>
<p>Not sure what you mean by “2.7,” but one B isn’t a big deal. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>I meant it by that my college GPA is now a 2.7 (even though I’ve only taken one course).</p>
<p>you dont HAVE to transfer that credit to the college you plan on attending after high school…</p>
<p>There’s no real problem with a B- in a college class. </p>
<p>Carry on.</p>
<p>Like Shroud said, you don’t HAVE to transfer that credit to the college you’re going to go to. I think you need to get at least a C for the credits to be transferable to the majority of schools. And clearly, you got above a C. I think just the fact that you actually took a college class while you were in high school is a positive thing when colleges look at your application. (BTW, I’m currently taking a statistics class at a local community college and I will be a senior in September, so I know how you feel, haha.)</p>
<p>Wait are you guys sure? I thought a B- would not sit well with colleges especially when it’s a 100 level class in my intended major.</p>
<p>But it shows that you’re challenging yourself.</p>
<p>Jubliee27, how did you find this out? From an admissions officer?</p>
<p>It’s a typical response from an admissions officer.</p>
<p>Also, don’t put too much stock into thinking that this B- is worse because it’s a class in your intended major. Lots of people change majors once they get into college.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Do not waste any more time worrying about this. A fair number of first year college students taking that course don’t manage a B-.</p>
<p>You will need to send your transcript from that college when you apply, but even if the course is accepted for transfer credit, the grade will probably not be recorded on the new college’s transcript. It almost certainly won’t factor into the GPA at that college.</p>
<p>If you apply for grad school, some institutions will include it in your overall GPA when they evaluate your entire undergrad record. Some won’t because it was taken when you were still in HS. Again, this is nothing to worry about because by the time you apply to grad/med/law/vet/dent school, you presumably will have four solid years of good grades at your undergrad college or university.</p>
<p>I think I am fine now. I have two A’s in two other previous college classes.</p>
