Redundant, I know :(

<p>I have two C's on my transcript from Sophomore year and I'm so scared that I will get rejected because of that. I had all AP classes Sophomore year, and am in the IB diploma program, so I have had all IB classes Junior and Senior year. Decent Grades (as in A's and some B's). I'm getting all antsy because I don't have my letter yet. What do you all think? Guaranteed rejection?</p>

<p>I'm sorry if this is annoying at all :/. I've just been rejected from WUSTL, UChicago, and Northwestern. Just very disappointed in myself and supernervous for vanderbilt...</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about those 2 C’s your sophomore year. One of the things
they look at is how much you have improved. Is the 4.1 your weighted or unweighted
GPA? Your EC’s are great and also your volunteer activities. I am waiting too. This was
a very hard year to apply. My school had 12 national merit finalists applying to Vanderbilt!
Good luck!</p>

<p>4.1 is weighted, unfortunately. Yes, every school has been ridiculously hard to apply to this year! Ughh soooo nervous. Good luck to you too!</p>
