Would a dip in grades be bad?

Applying to College

<p>If I'm taking 5 APs next year, would it look bad to colleges if my UW GPA drops by 0.1-0.2?</p>

<p>in the sense that a drop in grades is worse than consistent or improving grades, yes.</p>

<p>As to whether the difference is significant enough, that depends on your record? Do you have a history of striaght A’s, a few B’s, these your first B’s? What kind of drop are you anticipating.</p>

<p>in any case, getting a B in AP physics or something, would likely show more academic interest than acing introduction to basket-weaving</p>

<p>I’m predicting more of a 0.1 instead of 0.2 drop. Maybe even <0.1 drop. I had only three B+'s so far, rest As.</p>
