<p>I applied to top schools and I strongly believe that I got rejected from my ED school because of my freshman grades. So, I just received my mid-year report grades and I would like to know if they will make any difference at all (I have ~2300 SAT so I don’t think that is a problem). Also my school does not calculate GPA or rank so that information is my guess:</p>
<p>Freshman
1 A* (Maths)
1 A (Business)
4 Bs (2 Sciences, English Language and Literature)
3 Cs (Media, Physical and 3rd Science)
1 D (French)</p>
<p>GPA (my approximation): 2.7UW, 2.8W</p>
<p>Sophomore
5 A*s (Maths, 3 Sciences and Media)
4 As (English Language, Literature, Advanced Mathematics (very tough) and Business)
2 Bs (Physical and French)</p>
<p>GPA and rank (my approximation): 3.81UW, 4.27W, ~12/200</p>
<p>Junior - IB course
Mathematics HL - 5
Chemistry HL - 7
Business HL - 7
German Ab Initio - 5
Philosophy SL - 6
English A1 SL - 6
Total: 36/42
Note: German Ab Initio can be considered a 7 because we learnt the course from scratch so at that point I was at a 5 (I would get a 5 if I took the exam then because I hadn’t learnt the full course)
GPA and rank (my approximation): 3.66UW and 4.0W (with German as 5), 4.0UW and 4.5W (with German as 7)</p>
<p>Senior
Mathematics HL - 6
Chemistry HL - 7
Business HL - 7
German Ab Initio - 7
Philosophy SL - 6
English A1 SL - 6
TOK - 3
Total: 39/42 or 42/45
GPA and rank (my approximation): 4.0UW, 4.5W and ~10/200</p>
<p>Senior - Mid Year Report
Mathematics HL - 7
Chemistry HL - 7
Business HL - 7
German Ab Initio - 7
Philosophy SL - 7
English A1 SL - 7
TOK - 3
Total: 42/42 or 45/45
GPA and rank (my approximation): 4.0UW, 5.0W and 1/200 (shared with 1-2 other people)</p>
<p>So, will my mid-year report help much? How does it look overall?</p>
