during my sophomore year, i moved up from taking college prep during my fresh year to AP US History 1. and i ended up with a 77 as my final average, which is a C-... will this kill my chance of getting into penn?? everything else i have A's and B's..;; A's and B's in my core classes.. will this look really bad??

77 is a C-? I thought it was a C+... And I don't think it would make that much of an affect. Then again, A's and B's is rather vague...

at my school its a C-..
so.. i dont know if the adcoms will go by their standard of grades or my school's.. probably my school's grade breakdown.

other than that class, i didnt do too poorly on, i just feel like that might drag me down and that i have B's in some of my core classes..

your school is very harsh with grades. I think class rank is more representative. How are you doing there? And did this C- drag you down?

COMPLETELY. my unweighed is about 90 point something and my unweighted is 93 point something. however, i think this year SHOULD help, because my gpa went up tremendously this year..

so you guys dont think it'll affect me too much??

you mean weighted is a 93 right? whats like the highest in your class?

dontstopbelievin · 05-02-2009, 10:15 PM

maybe like i think close to 100 or a bit over 100??
and yeah i meant my weighted is 93 sorry
