<p>i have a fairly solid SAT score (2200) and good GPA (9-11th grade) but my senior year grades are horrible. I am taking the toughest courses (6 IB courses) and im getting one C, three B's, and two A's. i applied to cornell, dartmouth, stanford, and johns hopkins. Will i be rejected because of my senior grades?</p>
<p>bumpp pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee</p>
<p>I don't think you'll be rejected because of your grades, but they may hurt you a little bit. There are a lot of kids applying to those same schools also taking IB courses and getting higher grades. But they are not an automatic rejection.</p>
<p>thnks scarletleavy, other opinions?</p>
<p>Colleges are wary of students with major downward shifts in grades. When it comes to top colleges, the competition is so great, that there will be students with straight A averages (including senior year) in extremely tough courses and with outstanding, time-consuming ECs who you'll be competing against. That will hurt your chances.</p>
<p>One C isn't going to matter that much. its o-k, it happens to everybody. No cure for senioritis</p>
<p>k thanks. more opinions?</p>
