concerned about grades

<p>i finished my junior year with 2 B's in ap Spanish and 2 B's in Math Analysis, and im kinda worried because junior years supposed to be important</p>

<p>my gpa is still at a 3.9 uw
sat: 2190
sat 2's: spanish - 750
history - 780
my ec's include clubs, volleyball, eagle scout, video production, speech and debate, and 600 hours of volunteering</p>

<p>what do you guys think? do you know people who made berkeley with bad junior year grades? what's the most important aspect of admission to the college (hopefully not grades)?</p>

<p>Anything is possible. Some people get admitted for different things, but it's generally a combination of a few things. Would people you don't know telling you that it's still possible to get into Berkeley make you feel better? It's possible, it most certainly is. I wish you the best of luck. Look into schools that fit you well, even if they aren't Berkeley. I'm sure you can find many others that fit the bill.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, and write a great essay. Wait, three great essays.</p>

<p>just present yourself as well as you possibly can and have low expectations...</p>

<p>a B in an AP course is no big deal (unless your intended major is spanish - LOL). Cal (and UCLA) really reads those essays, so as Drab mentioned, get writing.</p>

<p>thats great. thanks guys!</p>
