4 C's

Applying to College
1

<p>I have gotten 4 C's in my entire highschool career. How much does that affect me when I apply to Ivy league calibre schools?</p>

2

<p>If you've gotten four C's, I'm guessing you've also gotten a fair number of B's. This would pretty much move you out of contention. The applicant pool is dominated by students with 3.7+ GPAs.</p>

3

<p>The thing is, there all honors courses, every single one of them.. And I know I have a very high chance of scoring all A's in my all my AP classes my JUnior year.</p>

<p>What is your GPA so far?
And if you've gotten 4 C's so far, then trust me, you do not have a very high chance of getting all A's in your AP's next year...</p>

6

<p>I'm in the top 25 pecent of my class. I was depressed/family problems during my sophmore year.</p>

7

<p>Then you'd probably want to write about that in your essay or personal statement to have a shot at an Ivy League school.</p>

8

<p>cant a 2200+ on SAT and straight A during junior year overshadow the 4 C's.With a couple ec's.</p>

<p>To be honest, probably not...
If you don't believe me, look at some applications in the "What are my chances?" thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The problem is that a lot of other people also have 2200+, and they didn't litter their transcript with C's.</p>

11

<p>dude cornell takes some applicants from over the 20% ranking margin. So, I still have a chance right?</p>

12

<p>You have a chance. So do the people that have worse GPA's than you, cuz of numerous other factors that involve admissions.</p>

<p>the thing is, that chance is just much more slim for you because a person with 2200+ SAT but with a 4.0 is more likely than u to get in. But still, doesn't mean you shouldn't try, and I hope you do actually get ALL "A's" in your all "AP's" junior year. yes, people (like one senior from my highschool) do get into ivies with C's / B's, but with other factors and it's more rare; in that senior's case he had 4 C's as well, BUT freshman year, and got into Princeton, for u it's sophomore so I can't really say.</p>

<p>Gl...hopefully you get all A's / good SAT's and good ec's...</p>

13

<p>What kinds of courses? How do they relate to your intended course of study?</p>

14

<p>princeton? yes, I guess I do have a chance.</p>

15

<p>not really. sorry. but... you post too much.</p>

<p>man to be flat out honest unless you do somthing miraculous (more than 4.0 GPA junior year which the people you would compete with will have had for three years and more than a 2200+ SAT which they will have also) your not going to get in to an ivy </p>

<p>but the good news is that when i say "your not going to get int an ivy" im not saying "your not going to get into college"....there are plenty of very good schools (some perhaps almost as good as Ivys) that will take someone with a checkered record. so its not the end of the world...MOST people dont go ivy...</p>
