Do I have any chance?

<p>I had good grades freshman and sophomore year, (all As and A+s in the hardest classes at my school), but this year my grades aren't as great. I am taking more APs than any other junior at my school but I unfortunately managed to get B+s in 3 classes. In the other course I took I got As/A+s. I have great extracurriculars and I will have one "good" recommendation and one really really great one. I'm also taking a few more AP courses this summer to get ahead. I'm working on my essays this summer and I would think/hope that they will be pretty good. I am hoping to get my SAT scores up. The first time I took them I got a 2100, but I'll have to wait a few more days for my new scores to come back and see if I improved. I anticipate good, but not great SAT 2 scores.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot? You can be honest. Trust me, I can take it. I am worried that my grades have dropped too much junior year which is NOT good, but I'm still wondering if its worth applying and if there is a chance there.
THANK YOU!</p>

<p>you definitely have a shot. of course, i would encourage you to apply. to be honest, you seem around the middle of the pack of accepted students (which is fine!).</p>

<p>Thanks yankeeman. I would be thrilled just to be in the “middle of the pack”!</p>

<p>If you are sure Wes is your first choice, and financial aid is not a factor, consider applying early decision. That may boost your chances (which are reasonable) even higher. Unless you think you can get all As first semester senior year, in which case maybe regular decision would demonstrate your academic strength better.</p>

<p>How important are interviews?</p>
