Drop in Senior Grades

Applying to College
1

So I ended Junior year with a 95.75 GPA, taking all the AP courses I could and such, and my first quarter senior grades were consistent with that. However, in the second quarter I’ve fallen behind on work due to missing school and lack of sleep, and my average for this quarter at the moment seems to be about 5 points lower than my previous average.

According to my counselor, I don’t think this affects the GPA that is on my transcript, but how much will this hurt my application?

I’ve applied to Cornell, Stanford, Rice, USC, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, University of Virginia, and Wash U.

Will your school send midyear reports? And is that grade included?

I think that’s the main issue tbh

Absolutely. It will hurt your chances. My senior grade dropped by 2-3 points and I got deferred by a school

May I ask what it dropped to?
