Minor Grade Drop?

<p>Hey, so I kind of hate it when people complain about how dropping from an A+ to an A is going to hurt them, but I think my problem is a teeny bit bigger (only be like, a millimeter, but trust me, I'm not freaking out AT ALL)</p>

<p>So I've always been a straight A student (which I classify as anythign from an A- to an A+). But this year (sophomore year), I'll be getting two B+s: one in Math 3 Honors (mostly Trig) and one in Chemistry Honors (this one is annoying because it is only because I bombed the final).<br>
Math and Science have never been my strong points, and I'll most likely be a history or social science related major.</p>

<p>I've had two years of high school grades before this (I took high school credit courses in 8th grade, which show up on the transcript), and they're all in the A range. I'm pretty sure its not enough to throw me from top 10%, because they are honors classes (my cumulative GPA before this year was a 4.22, an the lowest in the top ten was a 4.02), but I think it ruins my chances of top 5%. </p>

<p>Will this slight drop mean anything, or is it insignificant? I mean, do you think it would hurt my chances at any college I would have gotten in to if the Bs had been As instead?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>As long as your overall application is strong, you'll be fine. A couple Bs won't kill you, especially as you seem to be taking very challenging classes.</p>
