<p>You do not need to explain yourself on CC, because I doubt that you will be able to explain as much on your application. Straight B’s junior year puts you out of the running for HYPSM, regardless of rank. There are plenty of other good schools too, but understand that HYPSM is by no means a realistic goal. Good luck</p>
<p>Strong SAT scores, yet your GPA is weak when it comes to those schools’ standards.
I go to a private school, and I understand how competitive such an environment can be.</p>
<p>Wait, you’re going to take 13 courses your senior year? Is that even possible?</p>
<p>Uh… I had a B to B+ everytime in AP Bio, but I have an 800.</p>
<p>Grade deflation much?</p>
<p>I have 10 AP classes senior year people… Sport is not an AP class…
lol</p>
<p>You’re taking 10 classes or self studying some of them?</p>
<p>Sorry, I am TAKING 12 AP classes.
This year was a new year for me, and my school has MASSIVE grade deflation.</p>
<p>I just checked my June SAT- 2400.</p>
<p>Top 5%, decent ECs.</p>
<p>I hate it… I seem like a lazy slacker who gives no devotion to school.</p>
<p>AP Scores- I just called; lol, love CB#</p>
<p>55555
But hey, my teachers decided to give me Bs for those classes… WHY??
WHY??</p>
<p>no, you’re not going to manage 12 AP classes. </p>
<p>sorry, just not happening.</p>
<p>just isn’t.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input.
I finish one AP a month.</p>
<p>And PLEASE SORRY FOR THE TITLE: IM NOT A SNOB.
JUST NEED TO ATTRACT ATTENTION, and I AM SURE ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE GREAT APPLICANTS.
WHICH WILL MAKE YOU CLICK ON MY THREAD…</p>
<p>Sorry again, I am not a braggart.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>nope. still not happening.</p>
<p>Why? If I may ask??</p>
<p>I finished 4 “lighter” APs from May (after I took those exams) to July 3rd.
APs are not that challenging… </p>
<p>Judging by your username, you have IBs!
Are IBs really that difficult?</p>
<p>Ah, you checked your June scores two weeks after they were released? Your story is getting more and more believable with every post.</p>
<p>I was on a class trip, so I didn’t have online access.
And thanks for pointing that out, now after reading this clarification, people won’t ask the same question as you did.</p>
<p>Where are you applying?</p>
<p>OK.
Since my junior year is so bad, screw HYPSM.
I am applying to GW, UC Berkley, and Wake Forest.
Also UChicago…</p>
<p>Now will someone else chance me with updated schools??</p>
<p>You should still apply to HYPSM if you want to attend.</p>
<p>Honestly you do have a chance if everything else is strong…what’s ur overall gpa…if it’s a 3.8 or higher u do have a chance cause I know ppl with a 3.8 that got in top schools bc that was there weakness, the gpa…because everything else was strong…idk ur ECs but if they are strong u will have a decent shot…!</p>
<p>I don’t know… I got totally PWNED on this site, lol.</p>
<p>Hey Iwantyale, best of wishes to you.
My GPA is 3.87, rank top 5%.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your inputs.</p>
<p>silverturtle, thanks for your encouragement.
Where are you applying?</p>
<p>How does he not have a chance lol? You have a great chance, but your college essays will make the decision now. They will get you in or keep you out.</p>
<p>lol, thanks.
As davidoga mentioned, I am really worried about B+s on my transcript, junior year.</p>
<p>But remember!!! It is an 89!!
Some schools just have a different grading system.</p>
<p>FYI I am a girl.</p>
