<p>I just found out that my quarter grade in AP spanish is a B. This is the first B I've ever gotten on my report card (I've had all As freshman, sophomore, junior year) and this is hopefully the only B senior year. How much will this hurt for colleges? (top colleges)... Would it have been better if I dropped this class and only had 3 AP classes (I currently have AP spanish, AP chemistry, AP Statistics, AP European history and world literature), or taken an honors spanish class and only had 2 APs?... Is this a big deal or am I worrying too much? (keeping in mind I'm applying to top schools)</p>
<p>heh it's fine... don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Drop it now! retreating is far better then anything but utter and complete victory. (don't worry about it, its your only B)</p>
<p>For goodness sakes --- get a life. It will probably help you, colleges will see you are not absolutely perfect!</p>
<p>Its definitely not because I'm not working hard... I'm working much harder than I was last year but still getting a B because of her weird grading system and our lack of any real quizzes/tests... (and also the fact it is much harder)</p>
<p>The thing is, for the past 3 years, I mostly got my worst grades first quarter because I needed to really understand what the teacher expects and I do better each quarter... It is a bummer that colleges ask for only the first semester in their decision (as that is when my grades will be lower). And I also hope that colleges realize that we have to do a million college applications at the same time and is a generally stressful period... (first semester)</p>
