<p>How much would 1 B all throughout high school hurt you when applying to the top schools in the nation?</p>
<p>It wouldn’t. Don’t worry. Grades are important but schools don’t expect perfection. Are all "A"s better? Obviously. Is one “B” going to keep you out of Harvard? No.</p>
<p>Thank you for the positive reassurance. I’ve been constantly hearing that Bs kill your college profile; it’s good to read this.</p>
<p>“I’ve been constantly hearing that Bs kill your college profile”</p>
<p>Sure – for the most selective schools – but that doesn’t equal ONE “B”.</p>
<p>And the most selective schools use a holistic evaluation system. If you don’t get into an Ivy it will NOT be because of your grades.</p>
