I'm currently finishing up my Sophomore year of High School and I was wondering how harshly my math grades would affect my chances of getting into college for either Mechanical or Aerospace engineering. I'm gotten straight Bs in Honors Algebra 2 in Freshman Year and in Honors Pre Calc in Sophomore Year. However, I'm planning to take AP Calc AB next year, which I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get an A in both semesters.
Furthermore, I'm doing really well in my honors science courses (As) and I have multiple STEM extracurriculars. I've also consistently scored 750+ on the Math sections of practice SATs I've taken.
So basically, what I'm trying to ask is how bad a blemish are my Bs in math, especially for schools like UT Austin, UIUC, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon and Michigan? And if they're a big blemish, what would different Engineering majors should I look into applying under to increase my chances into getting into a good school?
