<p>How is the transcript? My SAT is decent, 2300, but how bad are my grades? My school doesn't rank, and in most core classes, only 1-2 people get over a 90.</p>

<p>Pretty bad, but I think that your 100s in Gym should make up for them.</p>

3

<p>Chance at the ivies? L0L, You’ll be GODLY lucky if you get waitlisted at Devry.</p>

4

<p>You are not taking the most rigorous curriculum your school has to offer and that will be a minus.
Take AP Calculus BC.
What do you plan to major in?</p>

5

<p>Yea you’re transcript is just fine. One or two Bs will do little/if anything to your chances.</p>

6

<p>In all seriousness
No, It won’t. But please stop calling your SAT score “dECENT”
It’s people like you who ivies DON’T want.</p>

<p>People with A c or 2 have been admitted to Harvard.
And no, they weren’t URMS</p>

7

<p>Ok, thanks. Just some of the people on CC have like perfect GPA’s, and I wonder how I can even compete with them.</p>

8

<p>Oh, and not sure of my major, probably poly sci/ir, but premed track.</p>

9

<p>Bad?! not at all! @harryjones and @madogmgd are just crazy …
that’s a great transcript and a great SAT score</p>

<p>You’re grades are not bad at all. They are good. I can see that you kind of slipped a bit in sophomore year, but colleges only see the letter grades, not percentages. And your SAT score is great! You have a chance at Ivies as long as you have some volunteer work, extracurricular activities/sports, a good essay, etc. If your guidance counselor can check most rigorous and you have all of the above, you should be fine.</p>

<p>… you took gym three years? I’m going to assume that’s a requirement, or else I’d have to question why you wouldn’t fill that spot with an actual class. 2300 SAT is not decent - it’s pretty fantastic. AP Calc wouldn’t hurt. </p>

<p>ECs are probably going to be what it comes down to, really. And essays. So make sure those are as good as you can make them.</p>

12

<p>Yea, gym is required all four yrs, forgot to put it. The problem is my school only sends number grades, so it looks a lot worse than it is, i guess. my ec’s are very strong, probably stronger than my “academics”. so this transcript wont keep me out of top schools?</p>

<p>oh, and my gc is writing a note about the medical problems, bc i missed a LOT of school.</p>

13

<p>If you want to be safe with the ivies, win something international, or at least national. End of story.</p>

14

<p>If your SAT score is decent… mine must be burnt cookies.
And NO, your transcript is not bad… -_-"</p>

15

<p>published in a peer review journal good enough? haha</p>

16

<p>bumping this.</p>

17

<p>What are your extracurricular activities?</p>

18

<p>Getting 3 Bs is not a problem at all. Chill out and focus on extracirriculars </p>
