Will a B+ in an International Law course ruin my chances of the Fletcher School?

<p>Just curious because I’m freaking out. I’ve gotten all A’s and A-'s in my other course work such as foreign languages, international politics and economics. But I feel like this course is the core of foreign service, and doing poorly in it will prevent me from getting into the Fletcher School.</p>

<p>It’s very unlikely to ruin your chances.</p>

<p>Are you sure? I imagine it would be like applying to Julliard while having a B+ in Music Theory. “If you want to go into this profession, why did you do so mediocre in a class central to it?”</p>

<p>It will hurt you but not completely ruin your chances</p>

<p>International Law is one facet of International Studies, like Political Theory is one facet of Political Science. And one B+ is not mediocre, even for Fletcher.</p>

<p>Very true. I did get an A in International Politics, and I’ll be taking International Political Economics next semester so hopefully I’ll ace that.</p>
