<p>Goodbye any dreams of Georgia Tech :'(</p>
<p>Cheer up. You can recover.</p>
<p>What class was it for?</p>
<p>It was Spanish…ridiculous test, not even fair. Now, Spanish, which I usually get an A-/A final grade, I’m probably looking at a B+. Really uber ****ed. Plus AP Chem I have B/B/B midterm, math is looking like a final grade of an A-/A, english is B+/B-/C+ as usual, history looking like a B+ final. Just really depressing that I go to such a rigorous school. I really regret going here now - if I had a 3.7/3.8 in public school, I’d get into GT.</p>
<p>Failure is human, don’t worry 
</p>
<p>Do they really look at midterms?</p>
<p>No, but they look at final grades, and mine got lowered 2/3 of a letter grade because of this stupid test.</p>
<p>See if you can’t push that grade to an A. I would try to avoid a C in English if possible…</p>
<p>But let’s say you get three Bs. It’s not the end of the world. And from your class rank, they’ll see that you go a tough school.</p>
<p>Just do your best and don’t give up.</p>
<p>If your transcript only shows final grades, you don’t have that much to worry about…</p>
<p>My brother got into GT with a 3.5 GPA and his friend got in with a 3.2. You should be safe. Then again, we live in state, so I don’t know. You should be fine with a 3.7-3.8 though. My GPA is really crappy, sitting at a 3.5 weighted, though I should get in. Just make sure you get at least a 700 on the math section of your SAT.</p>
<p>In college the finals are worth nearly 25-50% of your grade. Be glad you only got dropped a few percentage points. Learn to study for midterms/finals now or else you are screwed.</p>
<p>25% is a very lightly weighted final. I’ve been looking at mostly 50% and up to 80% depending on how you do on the midterms.</p>
<p>^ Most of my language classes are around 40%. Sorry, I meant language classes lol. </p>
<p>Yes- finals are weighted much more heavily in many math/science classes (luckily, I take none :D)</p>
