How would colleges feel if I got 2 B+s my junior but straight A's the first semester my senior taking hardest courses available? How do they weigh junior years grades vs. first term senior year grades?

They like to see constitency. IE If you slacked off junior year then suddenly had an epiphany and wanted to go ivy league and got all A's in AP Classes Senior year, they'll be wondering why the hell you didn't apply yourself earlier. That's pretty much my problem too =(

well idk...if you got 2 b+'s in AP courses...is that a bad thing? (i'm asking for myself too b/c i have some really hard APs this year and i just don't know if i'll be able to get the A's)

no, colleges love to see hrader courses even if you don't do that well. of course they know AP Chemistry is harder than regular level earth science. they'll take that into account
