<p>Ok it wasn’t terrible but it certainly wasn’t what I wanted. Basically I was on the edge of a B+/A with many of my classes and ended up getting B+'s in quite a few of them. My GPA before Junior year was a 3.86 and I’m guessing its around a 3.7something now. My SAT score is a 2250 and I have a a ton of ECs (started my own community program, etc) but will this one crappy year hurt my chances at good schools? I was looking at Johns Hopkins as my main choice along with NYU, Georgetown while MIT is going to be my reach school. Anyway, do I still have a shot at these good schools such as Johns Hopkins and MIT or are they out of my reach now?</p>
<p>if u write stellar essays have great recs and your ec’s really r great then yes u still have a shot.</p>
<p>I think that if you can get back on track first semester of senior year, it will help. If the classes you got the B’s in were AP or honors classes, it won’t hurt as much either. Also keep in mind that class rank is very important and as long as you’re still in the top 5% of your class, you should be in good shape.</p>
<p>So to answer your question, no they are not automatically out of your reach now. Just try really hard the beginning of next year, write amazing essays, and keep up those ECs.</p>
