Deferred and Mid-Year Grades?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>I applied early action and got deferred so I’m freaking out now because my Mid-Year grades aren’t as good as I want them to be. It doesn’t have to do with the Marking Period grades because those are fine (maintained my GPA) but with the mid-term. For AP Lit I got a B 1st mp, an A 2nd mp, and then a C+ for the midterm :/. My school apparently does not send in an average of these scores for the mid-year report. I’m applying as a Biochemistry major but how much will this AP Lit midterm grade hurt my chances of getting in after being deferred. This is my first choice school :/.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.4
Rank: 13 out of (about) 350
SAT I: 2120 (M: 740, CR: 630, W: 750)
SAT II: Chemistry: 790, Biology: 680, Added on the December Math 2, got a 780
Courses:

<p>I think your stats look great. I would not worry about the B you received in AP Lit. Boston College looks at the entire application and a B is not going to keep you from being accepted. Good luck!!!</p>

<p>is this your first B? if not, i wouldnt worry so much. Even if it is, I think they will understand the added pressure of college appilcations in the first semester.</p>
