<p>Just wondering… will Columbia care if I get a couple of B’s this semester? Not like I plan on doing so, but there’s always the possibility…</p>

<p>The following are three pages on this topic from A is for Admission, a 1996 book about Ivy League admissions. It was written by a former Dartmouth admissions officer. Given that it’s neither the same school nor the same years, please take it with a grain of salt, but it can be very useful.</p>

<p>“If you go from 5 A’s to 2 A’s and 3 B’s you will not receive a letter,” just about describes my position… I mean Im definately not going to get C’s or anything. I just find it harder and harder to concentrate in AP Lit and AP Physics…</p>

<p>You don’t really save much money by taking AP’s, jus you get out of electives</p>

<p>Besides that, I’m thinking my grades will take a fall but I’m not too worried</p>
