<p>So, up until this year I have had a 4.0 UW GPA. But this year, I'm in 7 AP's, and I'm pretty sure I will get a one A- and either one more A- or a B+ (A-=3.7,B+=3.3). Soooooo, do you think this will look like slacking considering my past grades, or do you thing Adcoms will understand the rigor of my schedule and be OK with it?</p>
<p>EDIT: P.S. im talking about schools like Brown, Columbia, and Harvard...so please don't come in here and post about how I'm bragging or anything like that....i'm serious about my question</p>
<p>Depends on the rigor of both the school you are at, and the college you are applying to. But it won’t help–they want to see how you do with a rigorous courseload.</p>
<p>It’s a good question. My S is going through the same thing. Extremely hard senior year curriculum combined with senioritis. Our fingers are crossed at this point. While his semester GPA will still be high (due to AP credit), he will definitely show 2 Bs.</p>
<p>Stop worrying about it! Just do your best. There is no use worrying about how colleges will perceive your grades. Take it easy.</p>
