<p>I got a C in math 1st semester soph year. </p>
<p>I finished high school off with a 3.94/4.4 GPA. Am I ok for Princeton?</p>
<p>C’s are bad…but you’ve been showing improvement which is always good. Fortunately for you, freshman year is the least important year. </p>
<p>People can get into Princeton with lower gpas. Your gpa wont count you out, it’ll depend on ECs and test scores now to determine whether or not they accept you.</p>
<p>I have awesome/unique ECs, 33 ACT and 2240 SATII. I didn’t take the SAT I.</p>
<p>Thanks btw!!</p>
<p>UPVG: no one is “okay” for Princeton. That’s just how the numbers stack up. However, as a senior, may I advise you to just go out with a bang? What’s done is done. You’ll have decisions to make in April. Don’t lurk on CC any longer. Have a blast in your last HS semester.</p>
<p>With that gpa/test score combo your chances aren’t great (my friend with a 34 ACT, 3.98 uw gpa got rejected). I guess it’d just depend on how good your ECs are.</p>
<p>Also, how on early do you have a 3.94 with four Bs and a C? Im pretty sure that in my school that gpa would be much lower…</p>
<p>Doesn’t Princeton recalculate GPAs without freshman year, so the impact of screwing up sophomore year would be less than screwing up two years?</p>
<p>Laeven - Well that’s your friend. I’ve heard of 4.0s and 2400s getting rejected…and people with much, much lower stats getting accepted. I understand that it’s a crapshoot…but on general terms, I just want to know if I’m “in the range” GPA-wise.
Also, Laeven, 3 of my B’s were during freshman year, one during sophomore year, and the C during sophomore year. Princeton doesn’t include freshman grades when calculating one’s cumulative GPA, so the 3 B’s that I got in my freshman year don’t matter. What I posted is all that they’ll see. So yes, my GPA is 3.94/4.4.</p>
<p>I think that I just answered my own question… yeah, I’m within range.</p>
<p>They might not calculate it into your gpa but Bs freshman year will still show up on your 4 year transcript. All I was saying is that if all you had was that gpa/test score combo then you’d probably be rejected. It’s all down to your ECs.</p>
<p>Well my ECs include work with National Geographic and earning 1st place multiple times in national essay contests…so…</p>
<p>Well let us know how it goes. Good luck.</p>
