Chance me with a C Senior Year

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University
1

Really want to get into Brown but I have a C in AP chem and I know Brown cares a lot about senior year grades and C’s aren’t really ivy standard. Plus my SAT score is not really Ivy quality so I want to know is a C will take me out of the running with my already border-line chances. Here’s the rest of my Resume:

New SAT: 1490
SAT 2: Bio-M 760 Math 2 760
Unweighted: 4.0
Weighted: 4.84
Rank: 16/268 (top 6%)
APs: I took 14 APs but did didn’t get a lot of 5s

Awards: Couple photography awards and a bronze in Le Grand Concours (National French Exam)

ECs; Non-profit organization that gives food to homeless shelters (president of my school’s branch), Piano for 11 years (Jazz band soloist, trinity college london piano exams - passed 7 out of 8 levels), Piano accompanist for Solo and Ensemble County Music Festival, Varsity Tennis, Volunteer at my temple, Indian dance, babysitting and tutoring, cultural club president

Summer: Last summer volunteered at Johns Hopkins hospital, last last summer did a little clean water availability research internship in India

I want to major in biochemistry (pre med) which is what makes me worried about the C. all my other grades are As. I realize I sound kind of petty worrying about this one C but Brown is a tough school and its my top choice so.

Thank you!

Did you apply ED?

If not – that C is what you have now, and not what you could have in January, when the school sends your transcript. So work on getting that C to a B.

That C is going to hurt, especially since it’s related to the major you want to study. You need to do everything you can to get it up to a B.
