<p>i got 2 C+'s sophemore year…but in AP classes. I am african american too but that doesnt matter. My freshman and junior grades were great (3.9’s uw) and my midyear report is a 3.9 uw. I was deferred at BC and UNC-CH. Does anyone think the midyear report will help turn a deferral at those schools in acceptances?</p>
<p>I had 2 Cs and a few Bs in my sophomore year.</p>
<p>And I’m Asian :D.</p>
<p>Since your GPA should be pretty high now, I think you don’t really need to worry too much. </p>
<p>If you have details to update, I think you should follow up with a letter.</p>
<p>Thanks for responding. What should i write in the letter? Do letters help much?</p>
<p>Since you got deferred, the structure of your letter could be:</p>
<ol>
<li>Introduction about what’s included in your letter</li>
<li>Explaining recent awards, etc.</li>
<li>Elaborating once again that you still consider the college as your top choice and why it is; this has got to be very detailed and passionate</li>
<li>Conclude nicely, and end with “Thank you for your time and consideration.”</li>
</ol>
<p>Deferral tests your desire. I really think that you’ve got to do everything you can to convince your colleges that you honestly want to get in. And a genuine letter would do that.</p>
