Rebounding after one bad semester

[Bishop556]

Hello,

I have a predicament. One semester during the summer, my mother made a silly mistake that could have costed my thousands of dollars. Luckily, I handled it, but because of this stress, my grades suffered slightly. I got my first B+ and an A- in two math classes which does not seem too bad, but I had all A's prior. Now, if I maintain A's this semester, I can maintain an overall >3.9 GPA in both my astrophysics and math major. How bad would one semester look in the scope of things if I tidy up and excel for the remaining 3 and a half years I plan to remain in school?

Edit: I understand this is just a little bit of nitpicking, but I was curious.

I think there's no impact at all. Be aware that courses get much tougher at the junior level prepare yourself for a lot more work and study. Each year of college is like three years of high school so you see things will escalate quite quickly.

Nope, not bad at all. In ten years you'll look bad and wonder why you stressed them, if you remember at all. Full speed ahead!
