<p>Is this good? I want to go to an ivy league (UPenn, Cornell, or Brown), but I’m afraid some B’s in these courses will ruin my chances. I want to major in chemistry and I got a B in AP Chemistry, is this bad? I also got a B in AP Lang, and if Lit is harder, I’m probably going to get a B in it also. My school is incredibly competitive and the teachers rarely give A’s. Junior year I only have 2 APs, is this bad? I know many people taking 4-5 APs their junior year. Also, does being Hispanic help?</p>

<p>Being Hispanic should help you. Also, if your rank is good, those Bs won’t hurt you much. How many APs does your school offer to juniors? I don’t think any college will punish you for not taking a lot of APs if your school doesn’t have many.</p>

<p>If you really want to get into any ivy league you should switch astronomy for a more rigorous class. I mean being hispanic should help, but does not mean you can use that as your excuse. Try to study more and get higher grades.</p>
