<p>My son had a weak start to 9th grade for a host of reasons. However he has since been on a real upward trend each year and in his senior year is in a rigorous IB curriculum and challenging himself. His GPA is low though, 3.0ish, 9th grade really brought him down, but with his senior grades that will partialy be factored in it will be a bit better. His SAT’s are 1990 and he just took the SAT 2’s so don’t know those scores yet. Neither of us graduated from college and he is from a mixed cultural background. GREAT essay, strong recs, good all around nice kid. He loved BC and unexpectedly decided to apply, throwing caution to the wind and taking chances. Did not apply EA because he was told that the pool of applicants is much more competitive?</p>
<p>His current curriculum is IB HIGH ENGLISH, IB HIGH HISTORY, IB PSYSICS, IB PSYCHOLOGY, IB MATH SL, COMPUTER TECH. He is earning A’s and B’s except for one borderline C in Psychology. What do you think?</p>
