<p>– i’m afraid that my B’s in soph year might have killed my chance into those colleges, so i was wondering where i should be shooting for in terms of college…</p>

<p>hm…</p>

<p>well actually i don’t think you should worry about your B’s then. I mean, your A’s second semester should make up for it and show that you improvedd and tried harder.</p>

<p>Nice xc’s by the way.</p>

<p>I think you should be almost guaranteed LA/davis, good chance at berkeley and duke. and u of chicago seems pretty good too</p>

<p>wharton and stanford is all about luck so yeah hope so.</p>

<p>Just don’t screw up on grades senior year and you should be fine</p>
