Mostly B's still accepted?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm currently a Junior and my first semester is about to end, final grades are coming out soon and these were my grades for first semester:
B's in my AP and Honors courses
C in my other AP class ( Yeah I know..)
A's in the rest.
Will these grades immediately give me no chance? I have not decided on a college but I'm looking at UCLA or UC Berkley. I also got mostly A's sophmore year and 1 C unfortunately.
I know there are many factors but I'm really worried about it so any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>There are people applying with mostly As and getting rejected.</p>

<p>What’s your culm GPA? But unless you’re turning in a super SAT, you face a serious uphill climb with UCLA and UCB. Your Junior and Senior years are the most predictive of your ability to handle rigorous collegiate work at the more selective colleges.</p>

<p>Advice? Cut out some distractions and get tutoring. Good luck to you.</p>

<p>one C and a few Bs will seriously jeopardize your chances of getting into any top tier school (i.e. UC Berkeley) i would say your grades are not up to par with UCBerkely admission standard. With that said, if you can improve your grades going forward and turn in superior SAT (2300+, 700+), along with 5s in AP tests. You are still in contention. Don’t give up. Perhaps you should take a less rigorous work load. I’d take an A in a regular class over a C in AP/Honors.</p>

<p>How exactly do you calculate culm GPA? I’m taking the SAT again this saturday and I get around 2100. Yeah I have a really difficult teacher unfortunately in AP Lang but I’ll definitely be able to bring it up to a B at the least next semester. Thanks!
Thanks myboby123 I just had some bad luck with a few essays in that class. I can definitely change my grades and hopefully some A’s.</p>

Take all your classes. Give them points as follows:</p>

<p>A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0
C- 1.7
D+ 1.3
D 1.0
D- .7
F 0 </p>

<p>Then add up all the points and divide by the number of classes taken.</p>

<p>Continue to work had and apply to safety schools. Colleges are looking for a rigorous course load and it looks like you have it so…no worries.</p>
