Hello aaron56,
Senior year grades will be placed in the context of your other years' grades in high school. All colleges would rather see improvement from lower grades as a freshman to better grades senior year. A downward trend (it sounds like yours is quite a severe deviation from your previous performance) is not the best. It may seem to admission officers that you got lazy...
I need more information from you, aaron56, in order to really give you any accurate remarks as to your chances of admission. Did you apply ED or RD? How good were your test scores? What were your grades in the previous years? How low did they drop, and for what reason(s) (be truthful, please!). Also, how good did you think your essays/recommendations were? Any other information about what you included in the application (voluteering positions, jobs, clubs, activities, athletics) would make it easier for me to give you my best guess as to your chances of admission.
I see that you are from Nepal...being an international student greatly increases your chances of admission at any college. Keep that in mind.
If you do not wish to share your "personal" information on this board, just shoot me an email at
saydej@lafayette.edu. I promise to get back to you ASAP.
