<p>I was deferred and I’m wondering exactly how important my grades this year will be in determining the final decision. I have had straight As all three years, and I may possibly get 2 (ah! maybe 3!) Bs this semester… is that totally unacceptable? The Bs would all be in AP classes if that changes anything…</p>
<p>The straight A's weren't good enough, so B's obviously won't help</p>
<p>i suggest you focus your sights elsewhere--you're not getting into Brown.</p>
<p>hahahahaha....Jesus Christ, that's blunt. However I do not think it is that definitive. No, it doesn't look good; no, you're probably not going to get in. But hey, I was also deferred...so maybe I'm just trying to sabatoge you in hopes of increasing my chances. Who the **** knows, you could still get in.</p>
<p>-_-</p>
<p>Don't listen to that junk. At a certain point academics doesnt make a difference... they know for the most part you can handle yourself academically... and while getting B's won't help... I don't think it will deliver the final blow to your application.</p>
<p>The B's definitely won't help your application, but since you had straight A's when you applied, it academics wasn't the reason you were deffered in the first place. My guess would be that it will hurt your chances, but I wouldn't give up yet! Keep working hard!</p>
<p>the idealism on this board is disgusting</p>
<p>I was accepted. But i still have to send a mid yr report. Does this matter at all as long as i keep a B avg? Will they check my 3rd quarter or final grades, or is it all over once my mid yr goes in?</p>
<p>After the mid year, you have a lot of freedom. Seniors slack of tremendously during 2nd semester, so anything that is a B or above is fine. Even a C is fine (I'd limit it to one and probably not test the waters though). I think if you get a D you're in trouble, but if you got into Brown, getting Bs should be a piece of cake. And regarding the OP, if you get had straight As, its obviously something else that was the problem. Your Bs won't help, but I think only a C would make a difference. Then again, try and get 2 Bs please!</p>
<p>so did this person get in?</p>
<p>wow, you actually dug this up?</p>
