..Will the stupid freshman/sophomore grades kill my chances of getting into Cornell? I have really cool/unique ECs. That's why my grades sucked in the beginning....I played the piano too much!! ...:S</p>

<p>If I slide through senior year with A's (which I will), I'll still manage to have a 3.94/4.4 weighted GPA. I'll probably have all 5's on the AP Exams (except for Chem..it's damn hard) because I love the courses. </p>

<p>Do you still think I'll have a shot with a 35 ACT, all 5's and maybe one 3 or 4 on AP Exams, phenomenal essays, and a somehow still decent GPA? I mean..will the B's and one C really hurt me?</p>

<p>I'll be an English Lit major!</p>

<p>Please, just one response, idc...just someone tell me if I'll be all right or not!!!</p>

<p>Oh and SATII: Literature 770, Spanish 750, U.S History 720</p>

<p>Even as an english lit major the fact that you took the bare minimum of math should detract from your application.</p>

<p>I suck at math. I mean it’s not like I didn’t care or try to take honors math… </p>

<p>However, I forgot to mention that I did manage to get a 4 on the AP Calc Exam (self study) …which was surprising… So I’m not that terrible at it, I guess.</p>

<p>Humpty Bumpty sat on CC
Humpty Bumpty said “answer me”
Out of all the CCers and out of all of the threads
No one wants to answer my question </p>

<p>…lol sorry but I can’t think of a word to rhyme with thread that goes with what I have to say…lol but you get the point! Pleaseeee answer!</p>

<p>you have a solid chance it’s not a crazy huge deal! The 35 is obviously a good score, and I think the upward trend in your grades is important. Personally, I don’t think the math is a big deal because you’re not majoring in anything math-heavy. I’m not saying you’re a definite acceptance, but you’re not F’d.</p>

<p>Thanks Cyber! I actually just read that one person on here got into Cornell with “…like 4 C’s and even more B’s.” :slight_smile: So I guess I’m fine! Thanks!</p>
