Applying to College

<p>Hi, Thanks for all your help guys. In grade 9 I didn't do so well because I changed schools mid year so I got all my marks SG (standings granted/insufficient data) except for math which I got a A in and English which I got a C- in (I pretty sure it was a mistake but I can't know cause I moved back). I'm wondering how are my chances looking for getting in a Ivy, Stanford, UCB, or Johns Hopkins (assuming that a get a IB total of over 40 with 4 HLs)</p>

<p>Here are my grade 10 marks</p>

<p>Math 90%
Bio 94%
Chem 71%
Physics 94%
Economics 88%
English Literature 96%
English Grammar 96%
French 83%
Farsi (Persian) 99%
Physical Education 98%
Ethics 99%
Computers 84%
Music: 94%</p>

<p>Not a chance. Your whole life is ruined now. Oh well. </p>

<p>Honestly I do not know how you can expect a chance when you don’t have any junior grades yet and didn’t take any SATs or ACTS.</p>

<p>Its probably a bigger reach than most. A 71 in chem is way too low.</p>

<p>American colleges typically notify students during their senior year, months before they take their IB exams, much less receive their scores. They will “weight” your averages generously if you are enrolled in IB classes, and possibly award you credit for good scores, but you will not know your IB total for college admissions unless you intend to take a gap year before applying. </p>
