<p>So…I did quite well my freshman, sophomore, and junior year, but unfortunately all that has changed. I got a 79 in AP Calc 2nd quarter and a low B in AP Physics both 1st and 2nd quarters. I got a 77 on the calc midterm and a 73 on the physics midterm. I had a B in honors spanish the 1st 2 quarters (but a 96 mon the midterm). Am I screwed? What are my chances?</p>

<p>Amherst: reach
Haverford: high match
BC: low match
Colgate: match
Lafayette: ?</p>

<p>I think colleges understand a dip in grades during senior year, but you should get the AP Cal grade up. It will influence their decision, but I think you will be fine. Good luck!</p>

<p>Assuming the 79 goes on the mid-year report:</p>

<p>Amherst: high reach
Haverford: reach
BC: low reach/high match
Colgate: high match
Lafayette: match. Ish.</p>

<p>Perhaps add more match schools good for bio, e.g.:</p>

<p>Earlham
Grinnell
Kalamazoo
Reed</p>

<p>Never mind, I see you’re a senior.</p>

<p>Amherst-reach
Haverford-mid reach
Colgate-high match
Lafayette- match</p>

<p>That’s an incredible SAT Bio score, and I think it’ll help that you intend to major in biology.</p>

<p>Chances back?
