<p>Hi I'm a senior who's applying CMU RD.
I'm taking three classes this semester (that is the max # of classes for our school's weird "block schedule" of finishing a regular school's year long classes in half of a year)
Anyhow, I managed to get straight As in SPANISH 4, AP ENGLISH LIT and AP STATS on the first "semester" (or quater in regular school system)
However, I'm currently working on the second "semester" grades for the same classes, but I'm getting an A in Spanish 4, B in AP English Lit and B- in Statistics... (this is just progress report, and real grade will come out next january...)
Would these two grades hurt me if I had been a 90% A and 10% B student so far?
How importantly does CMU look at the midyear report of 1(possibly 2) A and 2 Bs for admitting a student??</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. My GPA dropped from 3.99 unweighted (I'd only ever gotten one A-...yikes!) to something like a 3.6 my first semester and 3.3 my second. Didn't seem to matter to them, so I truly wouldn't' worry your GPA too much.</p>
