<p>I think my gpa is to low and I did get two C's (AP Chem and AP Stats) but the rest are A's and B's</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated</p>

<p>Assuming your C's were in soph or junior year (AP Chem/Stats you usually dont take frosh year), your chances are pretty low. You don't really have many leadership positions in your extracurricular activites, and again, the C's will kill you. The GPA itself isn't that big of a deal - I have a 3.3 UW GPA, but all my C's are frosh year. I got deferred ED II.</p>

<p>I can't imagine what they'd think of C's in years other than frosh year. Just rock the rest of junior year and GET YOUR BEST GRADES YOUR SENIOR YEAR. I cant stress this more. Senior grades, in my opinion, are MORE important than junior year grades. 12th grade is notoriosly the slack year and colleges weigh their decisions heavily on 1Q grades (for ED) and midyear reports (regular). People who excel their senior year will definitely stand out over those who were good first 3 years but slacked a lil senior year. Take my advice. Destroy senior year - and by destroy, i mean like, straight A's in all honors/AP. Your chances will skyrocket.</p>
