<p>I applied to UIUC, McGill, UCLA, Berkeley, UC-Davis, UC-Santa Barbara, USC, and will apply to Wisconsin, and already got accepted to Indiana U.</p>
<p>Quick info:
Illinois Resident
GPA: 4.2
ACT: 29</p>
<p>I'm taking 4 AP classes this year, 1 advanced class, and 1 regular level course.
AP Lit & Comp, AP Macro Econ/AP Gov, AP Psychology, Adv. Trig Pre-Calc, and Graphic Design.</p>
<p>I had a 4.4 GPA for my Junior year, but this year I had a looong semester. This is finals week. I'm presuming that I will get a B (God-forbid, C) in Econ, B in Trig, and maybe even a B in Lit, but hopefully an A in Psych and a sure A in Design. </p>
<p>Will schools look very negatively at my B grades in senior year even though I took the hardest course load possible? I get a lot of mixed opinions from people. </p>
<p>Would greatly appreciate any help, thank you very much :)</p>
<p>B’s are nbd regarding getting rescinded, the only problem is it may not look too impressive for the schools that are deciding whether they want to accept you. In short: you won’t be rescinded from Indiana, buy you may earn yourself a rejection from a prestigious school like USC.</p>
<p>I thought that as well, especially with such a talented pool of applicants a private school gets. How about the UCs and McGill? McGill + UCLA worry me as they’d be my top two schools to attend should I get accepted.</p>
<p>Idk much about McGill, but UCLA is a top notch UC, so if you are OOS, then yes, those grades may hurt.</p>
<p>I hear that OOS students are more preferable nowadays, however, because of the UC budget crisis. </p>
<p>Anyhow, thanks so much for your thoughts. I appreciate them!</p>
<p>Last year, students accepted to Berkeley reported conditions of admission like getting at least a 3.0 GPA in a-g requirement courses that you said you were taking senior year, with no grade lower than a C.</p>
<p>Well that’s good news, thank you!</p>
<p>ucbalumnus, isn’t that for students in California, or for ones that have already been accepted? 3.0 seems awfully low.</p>
<p>It is for those who were accepted. The acceptance will be rescinded if the student does poorly in his/her senior year in high school.</p>
<p>Hi…I am also having trouble with my senior transcript. I applied for major in physics and perhaps biology(I know major doesn’t matter much for undergraduate admissions) and I also took all the hardest course load in math and science(my teacher pointed that out in the optional report in commonapp). </p>
<p>My biology and physics grades are really good but the math and chemistry ones drop–especially the math one,straightly from 90+to70+just because the course was really,really hard, and I just want to ask if my chances of getting into schools like Bryn Mawr or Franklin&Marshell etc. are blocked? I asked the admissions of one of the schools and they haven’t replied me yet T^T</p>
<p>I got 800 in SAT2 math…and I never stop working hard!
Will anyone please help me…? really freaked out these days…:(</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus- the OP didn’t get in yet.</p>
