Grades when transferring from a different program

[Francophile1]

Hello,

I am planning to transfer to a PhD program after receiving my MA (hopefully) in a foreign language and was wondering if anybody knows how different programs view B grades coming from a different type of MA. Will it be a big problem if they see I got a couple of B's in a foreign lang lit. course?

I have posted about this issue before, but would like to find out more info. particularly in relation to comp.lit

I'm not sure whether or not this helps at all, but when I did my undergraduate I transferred majors (initially was Science, then jumped through a couple more finally into English). I contacted a couple of the major grad schools and they said that they only look at your undergraduate English marks for consideration. Not sure what the policy is on Masters, but I'd figure it would be similar.
