Oh Noes! A "B"!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Yep, I just got back my chem final and I did, er poorly, so I got a B for the second semester. I have nothing else but A's, so my new gpa is 3.967, 3.973 if I get all A's from now on. </p>

<p>My Question: Will this make a difference for getting in Washington University, Cornell, or Harvard? SAT 1 scores: CR 800, Math 790, Writing 740. On the Math 2 Subject test i got 790. Havn't gotten my physics and lit SAT2 back yet. </p>

<p>While I’m at it, what are my odds with those scores? I'm kinda weak in extracurricular, mainly running my own (successful) business and playing guitar. I have no AP courses (small school, they just added them this, my senior, year) but I have ~6 "Gifted" (same as honors) courses.</p>

<p>I am 99% sure this B means precisely nothing, but I'm want some outside opinions!</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>you should be 100% sure, because one B is not going to hurt you much.</p>

<p>Agreed...1 B will not be a big deal...I will also be getting my first B in Calc BC so I am in the same boat. Don't worry about it...if you have above a 3.8 UW and are applying to those top schools, they look more at course schedule, ECs, class rank, essays etc...</p>
