<p>Ok so as you may have guessed, I’ve applied to Brown (RD) and am worried about senior year. The problem is, I’ve had pretty good grades throughout high school but I’m at risk of getting a B for the 7th semester now, which would lower my GPA and Class rank. Realistically, how much does Brown care about this 7th semester business?</p>
<p>You mean senior fall? Senior fall is very important. Senior spring is not.</p>
<p>Are you worried that the office secretary will shred your application as soon as she sees a B on your transcript? :(</p>
<p>Of course Brown cares about all your grades, not just the first 3 years. But hopefully you also have a well-rounded portfolio of accomplishments; one B is not going to drop you from “admit” to “reject.”</p>
