The answer is that it might and it might not. It depends on how hard our curriculum is this semester, among many other things. If you are taking an incredibly hard schedule, it might not not hurt at all. If you’re taking it easy this semester, it could hurt. A drop of 0.3 probably means that you got one B, which is not going to end your chances at getting in to Harvard.

There’s nothing you can do about this now, so work on other applications, and makes sure that you have a broad mix of safeties matches and reaches - the same advice that should be given to any student applying to Harvard.
