am i screwed? my mid-year report

<p>hey guys. so i think for my mid year report i will get Bs in 3/7 classes (taking 6 APs this year), in ap calc bc, ap physics, and ap gov. the first two i kind of forgave myself because i am weak in subjects involving numbers but i'm afraid when the college looks at the B in gov they will know i didn't try my best. i have a 4.28 weighted GPA (not counting my senior first semester yet) and i have received mostly As in the past (usually one B per semester). do my mid year grades screw up my chances for middlebury college?</p>

<p>They certainly won’t help. You want the trend to go in the other direction…</p>

<p>Well, obviously they won’t help.</p>

<p>But I’m much more optimistic. I think you’ll be fine. With such a rigorous coarse load I think you’ll be forgiven. Of course none of us can really say for sure. I highly doubt that those few discrepancies would negate the lovely parts of your application and four years worth of other achievements. </p>

<p>I’m in a similar boat. I got a B+ this year in AP Calc BC. It’s my second non A for high school. (Had an A- freshman year). My school doesn’t weight.</p>

<p>The OBD sides with Arcadia…better have a safety…</p>

<p>have some faith here never know what will go down… I have a sneaky suspicious I am getting in…</p>

<p>Wow, that’s very confident!
Why do you have a “sneaky suspicion” that you’ll be admitted?</p>

<p>When I get in I will divulge my secret strategy.</p>

<p>I’m in a similar situation. My senior year GPA is going to be .2-.35 lower than my GPA for the previous 3 years (I still don’t know two of my grades).</p>

<p>I don’t think that it is going to kill your application, but it may make a difference. I would think that the fact that the classes that you got Bs in were APs will help.</p>

<p>A couple years ago, a student posted that they got a letter threatening to rescind their ED admission because their BC Calc grade went from a low 80 to a 78. All other grades were As. They aren’t messing around in admissions at Midd…</p>

<p>Ooh. Now I’m sort of worried… Eh. I’ve been expecting rejection anyway. I had a B+ in Calc BC. All of my other grades were A’s.</p>

<p>OldbatesieDoc–
My guess is that the letter was an obligatory one sent to any ED student who received some variation of a ‘C’ on their mid-term report. Don’t go worrying these applicants!</p>

<p>I think a little worry is good. May make them apply to a safety…</p>
