HELP! Will the adcoms read my essay if i have bad grades?

Applying to College
21

<p>what would a 3.2 GPA be on a 100 point scale? and it is weighted right?</p>

22

<p>Harvard? Haha, save the stamps.</p>

23

<p>a 3.2 GPA is like all Bs and a couple As… maybe 83? im not sure, and it depends what your school calls an A or B</p>

24

<p>Remember that the 3.2 is already weighted, so either there are a of Cs or OP got almost all Bs in easy on-level classes.</p>

25

<p>but what if that one-legged black native american w/ double legacies can kick an 80 yard field goal?</p>

26

<p>Then the essay would’t matter anyway.</p>

<p>jdjaguar,</p>

<p>Depends on whether the team already has a good kicker.</p>

<p>If not then a good essay would be submitted somehow.</p>

<p>Sorry I’m off topic, but, hmom, you are hilarious. I had to stifle my laughter…</p>

<p>No need to react so harshly. I didn’t hear the OP complaining or making excuses-- just stating his grades and asking whether they were deal-killers. And while race is not as important as GPA at all, it’s still important.</p>

<p>And the answer is yes, they will still read your essays, but a 3.2W means your everything else must be absolutely phenomenal if you’re looking at tippy top schools.</p>
