<p>I'm a freshman in high school and I'm taking Geometry Honors and have had a B+ for the first 2 quarters and also have a B+ 3rd quarter but hope to try and raise it. If I do badly, will Yale or other top schools look at this considerably?</p>
<p>no 10char.</p>
<p>Those schools are so selective you probably never had any chance in the first place.</p>
<p>There’s definitely nothing wrong with one B, but if you can’t get an A in geometry how are you going to get an A in Algebra II and Pre-Calculus and Calculus?</p>
<p>Obviously it will.</p>
<p>No it will not. You should feel lucky. I got a final grade of 77 in Honors Geometry and struggled through the class and now it is on my transcript for colleges to see. I’m taking regular Algebra II next year. How do you think I feel?</p>
<p>calm down you probably havent even taken your sat yet or researched or visited colleges. why do you want to go to yale?</p>
<p>It has been asked and answered many times on CC. The answer is no. It might hurt as obviously a B+ is worse than an A. It’s only freshman year.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, people have gotten into Ivy League schools with several B’s.
It’s not the end of the world by any means.</p>
<p>I really don’t think a B is going to ruin your chances for Yale, especially since it’s a very competitive school to get into. I don’t know about Yale, but a lot of schools look very closely at your Sophomore and Junior year of high school. They’ll probably glance at your Freshman year, but I’m pretty sure they won’t make a big deal over that one B. :)</p>
<p>Why do you want to go to Yale? What do you know about it? Don’t yet hung up on a name as a freshman of you don’t know anything about the school…</p>
<p>But to answer your question: it depends on how many more Bs you get over the next 4 years</p>
<p>Just focus on your schoolwork and you’ll know where you can get in to.
It’s too early to stress</p>
<p>A solid transcript is arguably the prerequisite for getting into a great college…so it’s important to get A’s in the rest of your high school classes because then the B+ would just be perceived as an outliar or bad year.</p>
<p>of course.</p>
<p>You’re a freshman. There is really no reason to be stressing about college yet, or you’re going to have a looongggg 4 years.</p>
<p>I’ve seen this all the time. Kid has solid transcript. All As. Colleges love them. Gets a B+. Colleges see flaw in student. Automatic risk. Kid doesn’t get accepted.</p>
<p>Kid, you’re not getting into community college with those grades. Just start looking for a job at McD’s now.</p>
<p>Before you freak out any more, I suggest that you surf around CC some more and read past threads. It’s not that hard, and if you put in the effort to make this thread, you can definitely read other people’s threads. The value of the excellent advice people have given in regards to college admissions in the past does not depreciate with time. Furthermore, as people have mentioned before, stop focusing on Yale. Do well in all aspects of high school and then start pondering over potential interests in junior year. Curing cancer is also a wonderful booster to your application…just saying.</p>
<p>
CC really needs a like button.</p>
<p>Abandon all hope now. This is the beginning. First it starts with a B+ in math then you slowly begin to realize your absolute failure in life and before you know it you’re working the street corner of a Hardee’s at 3:00 AM or selling coke to a grizzly 50 year old man wearing a leather motorcycle jacket that says RuffRider.</p>
<p>Yale looks down on people who lack general common sense.</p>
<p>I’m going to be brutally honest: a B+, despite being in freshman year, might really hurt your chances for yale. getting a B kind of makes colleges look down on an applicant as “not perfect”(sad, but true i think). i got a B in ap biology my freshman year, and it haunts me everyday. still, as many have told me, getting straight A’s the rest of high school will somewhat mitigate the B+.</p>
