<p>OK, so I got 2 B's in sophomore and junior year. Fine, that's over with. However, I got a B- in AP CS during my first semester senior year (and only took 5 classes). How much will that hurt my college admissions? I'm applying to Harvard, Cornell, and USC on the Common App. I mean, I doubt I'll get in to any of these with the grades I had from sophomore and junior year, but did I just kill my chances even more? Please be honest.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, the B- was in AP CS and I’m applying for Economics at all these schools, if that helps.</p>
<p>I think it depends on what you want to major in. If you want to be a business major or major in the humanities it shouldnt be a big deal</p>
<p>If you had B’s last year, it won’t change anything (unless you go to a super selective prep§/magnet high school where even B students score in the 2000’s on the SAT, win national awards, etc, etc).
Focus on schools you can get into. Where else have you applied?</p>
