For a low GPA student, how much will impact an excellent first sem. senior year have?

<p>Well, to add insult to injury, I have basically the same stats so the OP and got cold turkey rejected from Princeton WITH legacy. Rejected. Not even deferred. I’m trying my luck at Yale with legacy as well, but I don’t expect ANYTHING. I think my chances are probably 1 in 25. I’m also applying to Reed, but again, fruitless. I’ll probably end up going to UNC/NC State because of my grades, as far as I can tell, they matter more than anything.</p>
