Being bad at math; applying for scs

I'm already struggling this year and have a B+ in AP Calculus BC. Will SCS see this as a huge problem? All I have is an 800 on SAT math and A+ in two computer science classes, but it seems like they value grades in math over test scores and computer science classes.

There's a lot of math in CS, but not necessarily much calculus. Nevertheless it's always better to get A's in the APs courses that are closest to the ones that you'll take in college. It's probably not a dealbreaker, but it sure isn't a plus.

Thank you mathmom.

It turns out the teacher accidentally switched my test grade with another student's; I freaked out for nothing.

Wow, your "struggling"...

Getting a B+ is not a bad grade and will not ruin your college admission chances.
