Hi, quick question for all of you,
Generally speaking, is it the GPA as a whole or individual grades that matter to admissions counselors? For example, if you have a 3.8 does it matter if you got a B or A in a class if it barely effects your average?
I ask because I received a B recently, but had I gotten an A it would've effected my gpa only by 0.03 because I have over 150 credits for cpa. Regardless, I am worried that the B in one of my last semesters will look bad to adcoms. I am aiming for top programs.

One B will not affect you.

Hey there,
First, take a deeeeeeeeep breath! Whew, feel better? A 3.8 is an amazing GPA so take a moment and pat yourself on the back! Getting a B in your last semester (or any semester, for that matter) isn't going to move the needle...at all. And if it does, well, that's probably not a school you should be attending. But it won't - so relax and enjoy your last semester
