Chances of getting into GRINELL?

I should also add that I had a “green light” from admissions during pre-read, though that only calmed my nerves a little.

@waterbottle3535 that is great to hear! I was just extremely worried about my GPA but like you I had lots of course rigor and the coach has shown lots of interest. Hoping it all works out and thanks for sharing!

@waterbottle3535 I am getting that done right now! hearing that you are similar in stats to me I am hoping that my read goes well too.

No problem, keeping my fingers crossed for you! Go Pioneers!

Ok so admissions told the coach that I was a competitive applicant but there was concern about a C I received my junior year. He said overall it was a pretty good early read and he should know more over the next 2-3 weeks. At least my grades for this mid-year report are pretty good as I have a 4.0 weighted GPA.

they have not taken that into account yet so hoping for the best.

One C in a single course in a single semester doesn’t seem to be a big deal breaker if you otherwise had A’s in similar classes. A single class single semester drop doesn’t seem like a silver bullet in an otherwise stellar transcript.

But if it is multiple C’s over multple years and/or throw in a D or 2 and I think your chances decrease significantly. A coach may also have trouble using a slot if multiple C’s and/or D’s Are involved.
