Alright…i was in the 1st decile (we go by ranks in 10 percents like…lets say u are in the top 16 percent…u are in the 2nd decile…)…then in P.E, I got a C because to tell you the truth, i am fat and slow. now my rank is in the 2nd deciles. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!! I am panicking right now…I worked hard and P.E probably screwed me for my dream schools. any help guys?
<p>I'm pretty sure P.E. never goes into the actual GPA recalculations.</p>
<p>well...im just worried that if im not in the top ten percent..my chances for college will decreases dramatically.</p>
<p>ur allowed to explain anything on ur application. u can explain why u received a C and how that lowered ur rank.</p>
<p>i duno..all colleges recalculate gpa based on their own terms. lets say ur GPA unweighted is 3.6 due to the p.e...but when they recalculate it, they will probably get 3.7+ based on ur academic courses. dont worry.</p>
<p>They don't recaculate class rank.</p>
<p>1) send a letter to the colleges explaining yourself.</p>
<p>2) have your parents call... listen if people can be added as co-vals, you can have a grade voided (like you took the class pass/fail for example) which keeps you top 10%, if you're in the 89.8 percentile, I do believe ONLY b/c colleges want to play the numbers game, will 90.0 help you out more.</p>
