<p>Hi, I am beginning my junior year this august and I am worried about my grades. I really went to attend an ivy school but i don't think my grades are enough. I was studying abroad in Chile for a year and a half (freshmen and half of sophomore year) and since i barely knew any spanish, struggled with the material. The school I attended was very prestigious and the best of the region. I got bad grades such as:
Biology C
Tech A
English A
Spanish C
Biology C
Physics A
Math A
Chem A
but i improved my grades sophomore year where i got 3 bs and the rest As. i am wondering, do I still have a chance considering I take 10 aps classes (junior and senior) and get straight As on them? Do ivies like growth?</p>
<p>colleges love to see growth. and just explain that there was a language barrier in your school when you apply. that should help.</p>
<p>thanks, but even with 3 Cs you think they will understand??</p>
<p>So you know Spanish now?? :D</p>
<p>Plus, you can write a great story about how Chile changed your perception of the world</p>
<p>Get a 4.0 junior year and you’ll be in good shape.</p>
