Maura, Boston AddedWednesday, December 18, 2013 at 9:26 PM Is a B+ good enough or do I need all A's in high school? Hi, so I am interested in engineering, especially mechanical. I am in high school and so far have received A's for all of my math classes. Right now I am taking Honors Precalculus and I have a B+. I don't think I will be able to raise my grade to an A by the time the semester is over. Is a B+ still an acceptable grade if I'm looking to be an engineer and be accepted into a good college?

It is true that colleges look at grades on your application, but they also look at what type of classes you got those grades in. Honor per-calculus sounds like a great class to be taking and B+ is a very good grade. Remember colleges also look for well rounded people, not just at your GPA. So make sure you are having fun, get involved with a club, sport, or other extracurricular activity. Good Luck! ~Amelia
