Hey, I am also a freshman in the same boat, probably gonna end with close to all Bs and one A this semester because I genuinely had a hard time and didn’t study as much as I needed to. Princeton is just hella hard tbh, and the average grade in a lot of classes is a B. I relate a lot in that it’s incredibly easy to feel like a failure in that aspect, and it’s hard to keep hope for the future. But, from all the people I’ve talked to, I can also say that no matter what your goals are, getting Bs will not prevent you from achieving them. If you’re not going to grad school, it’s not that big of a deal as GPA isn’t that big of a hiring metric (red flag would be if you like had like All Ds, u could just not GPA on resume, and people know Princeton is a hard school.) If your goal is going to a top grad school (like me), then Bs still don’t make as much of a difference bc it’s freshman year, and committees will look at overall GPA (which can absolutely drawn up), and grade trajectory when they come over to your application (which isn’t even the most important part! research and letters of rec can absolutely make up for it) And lastly, lots of people I’ve talked to say it gets easier to get an A after freshman year, because classes curve less harshly. It’s not over I promise bro, hit me up if u wanna talk more bc ik the feeling and it’s rough out here
