This student likely got ONE B grade. Sorry…but as a sophomore…that is not a big deal. If this student gets all A grades as a junior…really…this “drop” won’t matter one bit.

If the student gets a 36 ACT or 1590 SAT…it won’t matter.

You know…even at top schools ALL of the accepted students do NOT have 4.0 GPA.

And that 3.88 is unweighted…what is the weighted GPA?

@RMNiMiTz you are giving this student unnecessary worry.

I’ll add…if this international student is looking at ONLY tippy top schools…like only HYPSM…even with a 4.0 GPA, there would be NO guarantee of acceptance…and especially as an international student where acceptance rates hover around 5%.

This student simply needs to do,their best. They also need to understand that there are a LOT of colleges between community college in their country and the tippy top schools here.
