<p>As you can see, my transcript is good except for the two level 5s that I've highlighted in grade 11. I'm wondering how much of a negative affect this will have on my GPA, and how much of an influence it will have on my admission to top schools. I'm predicted a 44/45 for my IB exams - how much of a weighting will this have on my admission?</p>

<p>I got a 2180 on my SATs as well.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Holy Fucking Shit. You have a predicted 44?? Wow. Well, your grades are taken care of. Seriously. With a proper Essay and EC you should be able to go anywhere.</p>

<p>@nexuslover haha I wish it were that easy bro…I’m just a bit worried about my 5s in grade 11. I know this might seem stupid to some, but yeah…</p>

<p>wait… arabic? do you live in egypt?</p>

<p>@nexuslover Nah, Bahrain. Couldn’t speak any arabic until last year when I started it at school, though.</p>

<p>@GodMode‌ oh hahaha alright. Well what are you applying for? I can tell you aren’t very bright at math (just assuming since you got a 5 in Math SL and then went to studies… could be wrong)… so If you are applying for anything non-math related, you are definitely good to go! </p>

<p>@NexusLover‌ Yeah, I suck at Maths. I’m applying for Political Science.</p>

8

<p>@GodMode‌ then yes i honestly believe you have a very high chance. if your CAS hours are impressive and you’ve got a nice essay (not to mention that your real is similar to your predicted), you should be able to go anywhere. Beauty of IB buddy.</p>

<p>Oh wow you know our boards are exactly the same! I don’t think the 5s matter too much (I have a 5 in Math HL myself :P) and I think being predicted 44 is AMAZING. You have a good shot with Vanderbilt, though others are reaches (I’m not saying it because you don’t match, I’m saying this because my friend with the same PGs and a 2300 got rejected from Stanford). Good luck!
