*One last note…my A- in Accelerated Calc this semester dropped from an A- to a B, my AP Lang and AP Chemistry grades dropped from A to A-. Will this negatively affect my chances of getting in? I’m worried a drop in grades my second semester junior year will turn colleges off.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

The Ivy Leagues are a reach for everyone but I think you have a good chance. I don’t know enough about Trinity or George Washington to chance you, sorry! Chance Me?

I think your chances are pretty good at GWU and probably Trinity; the others are all reaches for everyone, and especially for white females from the northeast (as tough a demographic pool for liberal arts as Asian males is for STEM programs).

I think you have a very good chance with all colleges. The ivies and Georgetown are a bit of a crapshoot, and you never know whether or not you’ll make it. GWU, Trinity, and Wesleyan will almost definitely offer you admission. Your GPA is competitive however your standardized tests are slightly under the median for the ivies.
