<p>What is MIT's policy towards grades? I'm a junior and coasted through 9th grade getting straight Bs, but managed to turn that around and get straight As as a sophomore. Now I'm a junior and got a B in environmental science (for a stupid mistake). How would this be viewed by the admissions officers?</p>
<p>I guess it would be like this:
“9th: lots of Bs —> 10th: straight As” = Wow, great improvement!
“10th: straight As —> 11th: Lots of As, a few Bs” = This person is trying to maintain good grades.
“10th: straight As —> 11th: Lots of As, one B” = Okay, no big deal :D</p>
<p>Thanks, I was just really upset because it’s a science course so I was afraid that would look really bad; plus MIT has a lot of competition from 4.0 2400 kind of people anyway.</p>
<p>You’re probably fine. It’s not as if there are so many people have 4.0s and 2400s that you don’t have a chance, it’s just that there’s probably not a difference between someone with slightly lower numbers and someone with a 4.0/2400.</p>
<p>That slight difference may become a huge difference in the Pi day 
But who knows which one will win :)</p>
<p>You mean white valentine’s day?</p>
<p>I meant the Pi day :D</p>
<p>White valentines.</p>
