<p>Do you think that the sophomore year shut the door on my chances on getting into a second-tierish college? I kind of suffered through some personal issues and most of those Bs were just 89ish grades.</p>

<p>Naah. I don’t think so. I know a lot of people who get accepted to UCB, UCLA, and such even with one C or so. If you’re consider ivy… Then you MIGHT be out of hope. But it won’t hurt to try right? :D</p>

3

<p>yeah bro , those Bs. Like i don’t know if you could even get into a college in cuba with those grades.</p>

<p>It’s really impressive that you were able to get an -A in all your AP classes for junior year!!!:)</p>

<p>Have fun in community college.</p>

<p>But in all actuality, that is quite good.</p>

<p>I’m happy for you! When I first read this post, I was expected mean and rude responses. These are actually very nice. :slight_smile:
Oh, and you should be fine if everything else like your essays and what not are great. You showed massive improvement, which looks good.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t think it would be a huge problem…you show you can do the work in freshman and junior year, and schools like UChicago especially seem inclined to not look at the transcript in a “three Bs will kill you” way.</p>

<p>You should be fine, especially because of your strong junior year.</p>
