Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>so right now i am a junior. i have C's in AP Chemistry, AP US history, and AP Physics. The thing is, I had a very troubled first semester and was not focused, but I've talked to my teachers and I'm almost certain that I will get A's second semester. My teachers know my concern and that I will work hard, so I'm sure they could write teacher recs about how I really realized my lack of motivation, and made up for it 2nd semester of junior year.</p>

<p>The only problem is, this may look inconsistent with the rest of my highschool. Freshman year I got 1 C first semester (honors math), and second semester I got 2 C's (Honors classes).</p>

<p>Sophmore year I got all A's and 2 B's both semesters.</p>

<p>So now as a junior if I kick butt and get straight A's 2nd semester, and work really hard senior year..
will colleges look at the C's junior year and really penalize me?
I have a 4.0 on a scale of 4.0 which puts me in the top 10% of my clas, I have a 33 on my ACt, and I have strong extra currics, etc. I could also write strong essays.
Would a school like northwestern fare well with a record like this?</p>

<p>how do you have C's and still have a 4.0?????????..... and yes, if you have a 4.0 and a 33then you should be able to get into Northwestern, given that you have some good Extracurricullars on your transcript.</p>

3

<p>Maybe the 4.0 is the old GPA, from last semester? Because there's no way it can be a 4.0 now...</p>

4

<p>Could be a weighted GPA.</p>

5

<p>yeah its an overall weighted gpa...i don't know my unweighted
my ranking is 85/1200 which technically means im still top 10%</p>

6

<p>I would say that it is possible, but a row full of C's may be a significant turn-off. And so would typing in 1337 speak.</p>

7

<p>reject because of dumb title</p>

8

<p>i agree, Northwestern likes kids who know how to use grammar...
I think the C's will hurt you and your chances, sorry.</p>

<p>that's what I'm saying ^^^</p>
