Hey, so I’m already in my safety (UMich, is a safety because I’m in already), but I’m afraid for my decisions from Dartmouth, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, USC, NYU, Northwestern, and Notre Dame because of my senior mid-year grades. They are:
AP Calculus - C+
Anatomy - B+
AP Lit - B+
AP Micro - A-
Visual Basic - A-
AP Physics - B-
I don’t have a reason for these grades, I was busy but that’s no excuse. I have recieved all A’s in high school with the exception of a few B’s. Are my chances completely ruined at these schools from a look at mid-year grades alone? My SAT was a 1440 (750 Math and 690 English) and ACT was a 31 (35 English, 33 Math, 30 Reading, 25 Science)
**All undecided majors (except the ones that don’t allow that where I picked Astronomy)
**Resident of Michigan, white, male, not asking for financial aid
The C+ should be okay. It doesn’t look good, but colleges understand Calculus BC is a very challenging class. Your test scores OTOH are low for the other schools on your list.
