What are my chances to get into University of Redlands? I applied 8 days late (my circumstances changed to where I ended up having to stay at home for school, I was going to go to SLO) but was told by a counselor to apply anyways because I’d still be considered on a space basis. I have a letter of recommendation from my brother in law, a captain in the air force. My gpa is 4.3 weighted, 3.9 unweighted. 5 ap classes senior year, 4 A’s one C. I’m stressing out really bad about the late app. Did I ruin my chances? 29 ACT.
In regular admissions, I would say it is a low match/safety for you, but I have no idea what its policy is on late applications. Sorry, but good luck!
Thank you. Hopefully I didn’t ruin my chances. ):
Lol, you’re fine! You didn’t say anything about your extra curriculars but, your grades and ACT already bring you into the 70%+ bracket. A C won’t kill you, unless you’re planning to major in that subject. (but, that’s why you can apply undecided ^_^)
I am in varsity cross country now, and I used to be the JV captain. The C is in AP Calculus, and I am going to major in Kinesiology. I am not a math person. So even with the late app I will have an okay chance?
I’ve gotten a low B in an AP Class which probably wouldn’t be seen any different than a high C. Colleges are not going to pick you apart for every little thing you do, they are going to look at the big picture of who you are. Stop fretting so much! I think you have a very good chance.
I’m not so much worried about the C as the late application. I’m not sure how much that affects my chances. ): thank you for your advice!
