<p>...You have some B's? I got a B in Algebra II/Trig Honors freshman year.</p>

<p>And I had all A's sophomore year until midterms came along and screwed me, and now I have 92s (ONE FREAKING POINT) in 4 classes. I take all honors and AP World History.</p>

<p>How much damage did that do, if hypothetically I do very well junior and senior year? When looking at transcripts and they see sophomore year semester one, will they take into account how close to an A those were? What should I be doing academically and otherwise to make me a stronger candidate?</p>

<p>Sorry if this seems really paranoid but this has been bothering me.</p>

<p>I feel like any sentence that begins with “Is it possible to get into xx if yyy” should probably be answered with YES for 90% of the possible situations.</p>

<p>But yeah don’t worry about some Bs. Besides, nothing you can do about them now.</p>

<p>If you get A’s in AP courses, then that’s all that matters. (unless you got D’s or maybe C’s in honors classes).</p>
