Chances that I'll get in?

I’m an American applying for entry into the Bachelor of Arts & Sciences program and the Bachelor of Arts program.

My weighted GPA is a 4.16, and my unweighted is a 3.46.

My SAT scores sit at a 2320 (800 math, 800 critical reading, 720 writing) for the main test and an 800 on the SAT II math 2 and US History, with a 790 on the Latin.

I’m only concerned about my grades in specific classes: I got a B in my 10th grade English, an A- in 11th grade and an A- in first quarter of this year. For sciences, I received an A in biology (although I took it in freshman year, so I have no clue whether or not they will consider it), a B in chemistry, and a B+ in physics. I also received a B+ in pre-calc, and have since takes two more years of math (B and A for last year and first quarter of this year respectovely).

I’m wondering whether or not my grades in specific classes, some of which are slightly below the minimums, will bite me in the ass, and whether or not I can make them up elsewhere. I’ve already applied, and the school is asking me to supply 2nd term grades when they come out. Is this a good sign, or a bad one? Is the admissions office telling me that if I get good grades this term I still have a chance, or is it more like they just want to make sure my grades don’t dip? If I wasn’t being considered, would I have already been rejected? Any and all help is greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

I applied from the U.S. as well with similar stats than yours; i got into Life Sciences (one of the hardest programs to get in) and still got in. I think you’ll probably get in for arts; Arts&Sci not super certain but I’d bet on it. In general, Arts look for an average of B in related courses, and ArtSci look for around B+/A-.

If you’re on a quarter system, they will probably consider your 2nd quarter grades too as part of admissions, and make sure your 3rd quarter doesn’t dip too much (like don’t drop from a 3.46 to a 2.46)
For comparison, i had 4.3 weighted 3.8 unweighted but a much lower SAT than you.
