My First B & How This Will Look...

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Will a B+ on my transcript look bad? I’m a junior this year and it’s in AP Calculus BC. I have straight A’s throughout freshman year (all honors classes) and only one A- throughout sophomore year (all honors/AP classes).

If anyone was curious this was/is my schedule for the 3 years I’ve been in high school…
Freshman:
Honors Civics
Honors Geometry
Honors Earth Science
Honors English
Honors Spanish 2
Elective 1
Elective 2

Sophomore:
AP Stats
AP US History
Honors Spanish 3
Honors English
Honors Algebra II
Honors Bio
Elective

Honors Pre-calculus over the summer…

Junior:
AP Calculus BC
AP Lang
AP European History
Honors Spanish IV
Honors Chemistry
Honors Physics
Elective

My GPA will be a 3.98 UW after this. I’m just kinda upset I won’t be able to say I’m a straight A student anymore…

You’ll be fine.

The only one who has an issue with you saying you are not a “straight A student” is you.

3

Do they even send term/semester grades? Many many schools only send the year end final grade on transcripts.

Eh a B won’t hurt. I think it’ll humanize you as an applicant.
