<p>I am in the class of 2017, therefore a sophomore.</p>
<p>Last year I basically flopped.</p>
<p>My first sem UW was a 3.8 and my secod sem was a 3.6. I got a B- in hon. precalc second sem and a b+ first sem. In addition, I got a B+ in AP phys. B, A- in APWH, and an A- in Hon. English</p>
<p>Although this year is going much better, with harder classes even ( got all A's and one A- on my first quarter report card w/ 4 AP's, one honors, and two regular classes), and I expect that junior and senior year will follow suit, my freshman grades will still look bad.</p>
<p>So, as the title says, will the freshmen grades ruin my chances of getting into a good school (I am aiming for the Ivies)? Thank you for your time</p>
<p>that’s good to hear.</p>
<p>You did not flop, Bs aren’t bad. Youll be fine</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. Its over, finished, done. Look forward.</p>
<p>You have it all wrong my friend. </p>
<p>Stop “aiming for the ivies” like that’s a goal. It’s a bogus goal. </p>
<p>The goal is to become the person that you want to be. There are many colleges that will enable you in that goal. </p>
<p>Live your life. Do the things that you want to do. Do your best in school. Become the person that you want to be. </p>
<p>Don’t live in fear of failure. Get enough sleep so that you don’t damage your cognitive functioning. </p>
<p>Come back junior year and find some colleges that are good for YOU. </p>
<p>I get 7-8 hours of sleep on weekdays and 9-10 on weekends, so it’s not like I’m sleep deprived or anything…</p>
<p>Really, only reason I say “aiming for the Ivies” is because I want to max out my potential. If it doesn’t work out, no pressure from anyone.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice, everyone</p>
<p>Oh no, you’re screwed. Just kidding! You’re fine! B’s aren’t the end of the world!</p>
