<p>I applied ED to Cornell CAS and got deferred :(</p>
<p>I think it's probably because I got 2 C's for my AP classes 1st quarter</p>
<p>For the 2nd-quarter, I think I will get my grades in the B and A range</p>
<p>Is that OK?</p>
<p>My GPA from freshman to junior year was a 3.6 with mostly</p>
<p>the hardest courses.</p>
<p>I have good EC's and my SAT scores are 740M 690V,</p>
<p>800 Math 2c, 710 Chem, and 750 Writing.</p>
<p>I think my essays are good and I have okay recs.</p>
<p>Also would sending additional essays help? Thank you.</p>
<p>I think it will hurt you a little. Mid-year reports are important, but they are not a huge factor in the admission process. Colleges may auto-reject or auto-accept some people. For borderline applicants, colleges will look at their senior grades. IF you are borderline, yeah it will hurt you. Sorry if I'm too harsh.</p>
<p>ooh, I'm in the same boat.
I don't even have a 90 in AP calc BC now, even though I got a 98 the first quarter : |.</p>
<p>GAH</p>
<p>my guidence counselor told me that the colleges dont usually ask for quarter grades, and they cant get them from your counselor without your consent. so unless u were informed of colleges asking, then the C's we not the reason i dont think..</p>
<p>i hope midyear reports count a lot
this has been my best academic semester ever</p>
<p>good, cause mine is terrible</p>
<p>Oh man, I've been extremely worried about this. Stuff happened this quarter (but not the type of stuff I can tell the admissions committee about if they ask) so I think I may end up with 3 Bs and one C on my semester grade, or possibly just four Bs if I'm extremely lucky. I'm absolutely terrified that I'm going to get de-accepted now. Do you think this will happen?</p>
<p>On midyear reports/high school transcripts, I've heard that they only get semester grades. If they get grades for each six weeks, I'm pretty fu****.</p>
<p>wait, is somebody who is accepted worrying about getting rescinded for Bs and a C?</p>
<p>chill out and keep on getting Bs...Bs are fine for accepted students. as long as you don't fail across the board you're fine. Just don't get straight Cs...worst case scenario unless you literally stop trying and coming to class is that you get put on academic probation at cornell, and have to get a 2.7 your first semester or something. no worries. sheesh, relax.</p>
<p>Thanks so much sparticus! I've been mad worried about this today, and I definitely do not plan on getting straight C's. You just totally eased my mind.
Mahaha I'm not used to the feeling of being able to get B's and not worry too much.</p>
<p>I got mono than bronchitis, I've missed a month of school.</p>
<p>My midyear report is gonna SUCKKKKKK</p>
<p>god did not want you to have a good mid year report.....</p>
<p>you're telling me.</p>
<p>The odds that I get a misdiagnosed broken leg (idiots didn't take an xray), miss football season, get mono, bronchitis, now they're testing for whooping cough...</p>
<p>And I havnt been able to speak in a week!</p>
<p>I'd better get into college lol</p>
<p>how do you know there not that important for regular decision? i read in a upenn book that upenn says there the most important bc there the best predictors of how you will do when you come in to college.</p>
<p>why is cornell different?</p>
