Hi, I am currently taking a double period of chemistry AP and GT at the same time. I am afraid that I am going to get two B’s (one for AP, one for GT) overall. My high school transcript only shows my overall grades. Will two B’s overall ruin my chances of getting into schools like Columbia University, UCLA, or possibly Cambridge in England? I have created a club, play a sport, participate in many clubs, and have a weighted GPA of 4.64. Thank you for any help!
(overall as in final, sorry for any confusion!)
As your only two B’s? No, it won’t kill your chances.
I got a B in a quarter during bio gt freshman year but ended up with an A overall. I’m pretty sure that colleges will only see my final grades which were all A’s and two B’s in chem. I’m just worried because all of my peers see a B as failing and I’m starting to feel as if it will ruin my transcript for the schools that I want to apply too. I’m probably just overreacting but I’ve been so stressed out about it recently. (Thank you for replying!)
Columbia’s average incoming GPA is ~3.85 to 3.9 if that helps. You won’t be tossed out for a couple Bs as long as your overall GPA is still competitive.
Thank you!
