<p>All through high school, I’ve always taken the most challenging classes I could and have gotten straight As in all of them. I have a decent number of extracurriculars, a 2300 SAT score, and am Top 10 / Top 1% of my class. However, during the second quarter of senior year, even though I haven’t gotten my official grades yet, I’m pretty certain my history, english and possibly math scores have dropped to either Bs or B+s. Will this drop in grades severely affect my chances of getting in? I mean, the rest of my grades have all been consistent through the very end of the semester, but I’ve been stressing about those Bs for a while now and am curious to know how important these mid-year grades will be in admission decisions. Thanks to everyone who responds!</p>
<p>The mid-year grades are just as important as the rest of your grades. If i had to rank them it would be something like this from most to least significant. </p>
