there would be NO guarantee of acceptance…and especially as an international student where acceptance rates hover around 5%.

Of course, there would never be any guarantee of acceptance, but every bit helps. It isn’t just the GPA, but mainly the class ranking loss that I am worried about for him/her.

If this student gets all A grades as a junior…really…this “drop” won’t matter one bit.

Of course, if OP had a good junior year, it would matter a lot less, but there is no point in speculation.

If the cumulative GPA is currently 3.88 and OP had a 4.0 in freshman year, that means he had a 3.76 GPA in sophomore year. If he gets a 4.0 in Junior year, he can pull the cumulative up to a 3.92, but if the trend keeps on going it isn’t good.

This student likely got ONE B grade.

If he had 7 classes, it would mean 2 B’s or 1 C. Doesn’t really matter, was just curious and did the math.
