How much did I mess up my chances of getting into college? [college calculus 1 B grade, IB math AA HL A grade; MD resident, 3.967 GPA, top 10% rank, 1530 SAT, <$50k, civil engineering]

Well I would never want to speak for the student.

If they plan a Masters and they said they do, then they need to budget for that and not four years.

If they don’t do one, then they’ll have money left over.

But their plan going in is yes and they won’t be the only.
