Grades!!

Applying to College
1

<p>Considering myself as an above average applicant, please be honest.</p>

<p>For first semester, I received:
AP Literature: A
AP Physics: B
AP Chemistry: B
AP Government: B
AP Calculus AB: B
Spanish: B</p>

<p>I know, I know, it's horrible, and I went through a major senioritis. Prior to my senior year, I had four B's. My final rank is still within top two percentile. I have plenty of excuses, such as financial difficulty and the need for me to work on top of piles of homework everyday, but it is ultimately myself to blame. Am I screwed, as in did I just lose my opportunity to even be considered an acceptee at Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and Cornell!!!???</p>

<p>UndeadRussian, I have already been accepted to UCLA and UC Berkeley under Regent's, and UCLA has given me full aid. I'd certainly be thrilled to attend either of the schools.</p>

<p>I am specifically asking this question regarding the top notch schools that I applied to, which have deadly competition - meaning that bad senior year grades can cause acceptance. Maybe I should have been more specific with my question: Are those grades bad enough to get me rejected from the the top tiers?</p>

<p>ur rank is still in top 2 percent? Is your school like insanely hard?</p>

4

<p>LOL....I think you're doing a good job! Don't be so hard on yourself.</p>

5

<p>Relax chochocho. I got 5 Cs on my transcript and was accepted early-write to Williams College, a college as selective as the Ivies.</p>

<p>So 2 B's in junior year won't hurt your chances? Wow</p>
