<p>So I got my semester grades and Im a junior here they are:</p>
<p>AP/IB English 3 B
AP US History B
IB Physics C (73ish)
AP French 4 B
ASB (Leadership) A
Math IB SL (Calculus/Prob/Stat) B
Basketball A</p>
<p>Theyre pretty Bad I know but is this a turn off to say Ivy League schools because I know that colleges grade apps somewhat hollisticly. My frosh-soph grades are exceptional but this year was a tough load. Assuming good SAT scores ( i got a 2200) and good ap ib test scores, will a c kill me????
Its really worrying me, I would do anythig to get into Wharton or a good school for business. I just want to k now, is this c gonna get ME ELIMINATED IN THE APP PROCESS. ANYBODY WITH ADVICE, Please give, THANK YOU SO MUch</p>
<p>Since you do not intend to enter science or engineering, getting a relatively weaker grade physics is not a disaster. However, your grades are a bit weak on the whole. What I mean to say is that there are other things to worry about than the C. You have a lot of room for improvement.</p>
<p>thanks that helps a little, i am gonna major in business so that is true, but I just worry, I was worried, because next semster is going tobe way better I know, but I had a tough load. Any other thoughts from anybody else.</p>
<p>your grades are pretty bad. if you don't bring them up (and provided you don't have any super hooks), wharton is going to be pretty tough even without that C.</p>
<p>unless your valedictorian has like 3.5... then it's just a tough school.</p>
<p>still, with those stats you can get into plenty of good schools. ivy kids are usually straight A students though..</p>
<p>unfortunately, your unweighted academic gpa will be less than a 3.0 (I don't think the Ivies will consider ASB as an academic course). Thus, you will essentially need all A's to be competive in the Ivy pool.</p>
