Sticky senior year grade situation for Ivy hopeful

<p>So jr year I took Calc AB, got a high A in the class, got a 5 in the ap exam and I'm getting a rec from my teacher.
This year, I'm taking ap stats and ap calc bc (limited math curriculum at our school) but I'm getting a B in BC which is really sad because it's the exact same stuff. How do I explain this to colleges? Normally I wouldn't give two *****s about 1 B (I've gotten straight a's so far but w/e) but how bad does it look that I'm getting a b in a class I've essentially taken already?</p>

<p>Didn’t school start, at the earliest, like a month ago?</p>

<p>^Around August 15, ends in early december, I have a c and I’m just predicting what will happen. It just seems unlikely that I’ll end up with an A.</p>

<p>If you have a normal school year schedule, try to get your high school transcript BEFORE you finish the first semester of classes.</p>

<p>That way, your current grade will not appear on transcripts (no grades from this semester will, and colleges will assume you’re doing fine). You’ll have nothing to worry about - even if you do get a B, colleges will already be reviewing your application and it won’t be a big deal.</p>
