Senior Grades and AP scores...

<p>I know senior grades are also a factor in admissions, but does anyone know just how important they are? I've worked hard during the first three years of high school, but this year my courses are extremely challenging and I could be looking at 3 solid B's on my first quarter grade report (I've had one B+ every year since my freshman year up until now). Weighted wise, that's still around a 3.85 GPA versus my 4.0W. Will the admission office think I'm slacking off? I'm applying ED and I'm an in state student.</p>

<p>Also, how important are AP scores? I've never been a good standardized test taker. However, I've never gotten lower than a three on my AP tests. I didn't realize I had to submit these scores until now.</p>

<p>Mostly, I'm just worried about the admission officer's impressions on my senior grades. The B's will all come from AP courses I'm taking this year.</p>

<p>AP scores don't matter. Your grades, however, do. A few B's won't necessarily hurt you, but more than a few possibly could. I guess it depends on your other stats - SATs, prior grades, etc.</p>
