<p>So in the past week, I got deferred from Brown ED and took all of my finals. As it turns out, I have a C in AP Chemistry. Just a flat out C. I’m in the lower C range and the teacher will not offer any extra credit or extra assignments (I already asked), so its basically a done deal. Besides chemistry I should have straight A’s, maybe 1 B at the most. Does this mean I don’t have a shot at Brown anymore?</p>
<p>Some background info: I come from a highly competitive public magnet high school with a specialized humanities program that has sent many former students off to top 20 schools. Last year we sent 3 to Harvard and a few to Penn and Brown.</p>
<p>Not only that, I’ve taken all the AP classes that my school has to offer, not including Bio. This semester I’m taking my core curriculum (isn’t counted as AP but 2 AP style classes that are definitely challenging) plus another 4 AP classes-Euro, Lit, Calc BC, and Chem, and a period for baseball. My unweighted GPA is rather low, like in the 3.8-3.9 range but I have a 4.2 weighted GPA. Our class is ranked by weighted gpa, and I’m currently ranked 10/740. Other stats include a 2150 SAT, 32C Act, and a fair amount of EC’s that I’m dedicated to, although I haven’t cured cancer or anything.</p>
<p>Another side note:
I play baseball for my high school team, and this year was the first semester that we had 0 period workouts/practice. This means that as a team we were required to show up to school at 6:00 am for practice and work out for 2 hours until school began. Then we would all go through our school days, and come back for practice afterschool. It’s a big commitment to say the least, and I definitely emphasized that on my application.</p>
<p>So do I still have a chance at my top school?</p>
