My first B+

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hello. I'm sure many of you may say that I am overreacting, but I received my first non-A semester grade today. I just completed my 1st semester of sophomore year. Will this B+ hurt me greatly in my chances to get into an outstading college (Ivy level, JHU, U of Chicago, etc)? </p>

<p>Previous GPAS:</p>

<p>4.0000/4.7779</p>

<p>CurrentGPAS"</p>

<p>3.9743/4.8322 with an A would have been: 4.0000/4.8899</p>

2

<p>Depends on the class, probably.</p>

3

<p>Yezzir you done.</p>

4

<p>Oh shut up. You know the answer.</p>

5

<p>about 90% of students who get accepted into those schools have 4.0 UW gpas.</p>

<p>Sorry bro</p>

6

<p>No you need a minimum 4.0 uw. Maybe you can go to trade school.</p>

7

<p>No way, ITT Tech would never accept him.</p>

8

<p>But what if the B+ was in English? Do you need that for a tech school?</p>

<p>OP I hope you have an amazing hook.</p>

9

<p>^I don’t even think an amazing hook will help him there.
He is… sadly… screwed.</p>

10

<p>You need at least a 4.5 UW, which usually requires bribery/sleeping with your principal. Basically, you’re screwed either way.</p>

<p>Relax. You’ll be fine.</p>

<p>How many of these threads exist?</p>

<p>recently i got an B+ in math
i know this isn’t a big deal
but do colleges really look in deep at what classes you received a lower grade in?
for example, i wan’t to apply to a college that really emphasizes math, if I get A’s in math next year and on the AP or SAT’s, would they overlook this B+ in my sophmore</p>

<p>ughhhh omg. these frustrate me so much mainly because I know that your serious. Look, these were my grades throughout high school:
Freshman year: 1st semester - 4 As 3 Bs
2nd semester - 6 As 1 B
Sophomore year - straight As both semesters
Junior year - 6 As 1 B both semester (B in the same class both semesters too)
Senior year - 4 As 3 Bs (yes I slacked :wink: )</p>

<p>This doesn’t include my dual enrollment classes, where I have a 4.0 GPA, but really, look how many Bs I got. Occasionally, there was a story behind it and was never happy I got them, but look where I’m going to college. Just calm down and relax. you’re going to be fine.</p>

<p>^You Idiot. Way to feed the ■■■■■.</p>

15

<p>yea but do colleges look at specific colleges in where you get a B?
like it you get an B+ for art, MIT won’t give a crap</p>

16

<p>ZZZWAP,i’m not an idiot. im pretty sure he’s serious. just cuz he has a low post count doesnt mean that he’s a ■■■■■. I’ve been on this thread for 4 years now (since my freshman year) and thought the same thing. He’s just naive, which is expected from freshmen/sophomores. I think youre way too haste. Many ppl think like this. That’s why there are so many threads on it.</p>

<p>Assuming the second “colleges” was meant to be “classes” lol, then yes.</p>

18

<p>Swim2, you went to Brown, not a top 10 college, therefore it’s not a college at all, therefore you’re proving the fact that if you get a B you’re screwed and are going to work for McDonalds.</p>

19

<p>I think you have a chance at Tunxis Community College in Farmington, CT. Keep in mind, I said a chance because if you don’t get in, I don’t want to hurt your feelings.</p>

<p>dude, philosophy, if u want to hve this argument, just PM me and try and keep up a decent rebuttal. considering the acceptance rate this year is predicted to be under 10%, i consider it to be a great college and one where a lot of ppl find prestige.</p>
