so basically I got bad grades for my first semester of senior year. Will it affect my admission by alot?
freshman
4.0/4.0
soph
3.8333/3.8333
junior
3.5/3.8
senior
3.3333/ ?
I’ve applied to All 9 UCs, UIUC, penn state, ohio state, purdue, UoP, emory, USC, U mich, NYU, boton U, U of wisconsin madison, northeastern.
I heard that some colleges don’t look at mid year report like UCs, UIUC, penn state, ohio state, purdue and UoP and i’m wondering if that 3.3333 will affect my admission by alot
Most state schools don’t look at mid year reports, so for those schools you only have to worry about keeping a high enough GPA to not get rescinded after admission, which you certainly don’t have to worry about with a 3.33.
On the other hand, the decline in your GPA is something that you ought to be thinking about. It may be the your course load has gotten harder - and your study skill haven’t kept pace. Or your ECs are getting in the way of your GPA and should be ‘rebalanced.’ Or there’s something else in your life that’s interfering with your academics.
It may be that there’s a simple and easily remediated explanation - but the point it that before you head off for college with the clean slate, you want to analyze what’s going on and how you might want to approach school next year.
