<p>I’m a white female from NY, deferred ED. My stats before senior year (lots of honors, 1 AP) were as follows:</p>
<p>UW GPA: 93 (3.8?)
SAT: (first try)
CR - 700
W - 800
M - 710
TOTAL = 1410/2210</p>
<p>My midyear report:
AP Calc BC - 85
AP Macroeconomics - 90
AP English Lit - 89
Adv Dance - 97
AP Spanish Lang - 95
AP Bio - 90</p>
<p>Extras I sent in after deferral:
Creative piece I did for English this year
Letter of intent to a dean of admission
Dance teacher rec - probably very good
Club advisor/Spanish teacher rec - very good
My aunt/Vanderbilt department head rec - very good (I know there are arguments against this one, but if it doesn’t help me, I can’t imagine it hurting me.)</p>
<p>What are my odds now with those grades? Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not sure of your chances, but I really don’t think a couple Bs are going to hurt especially since it doesn’t seem like you’re slacking particularly, since your gpa is a 93 anyway. I just wanted to point out though that a 3.8 is a high A average, and 93 is a B+average…so I don’t think you have a 3.8. But I’m not absolutely positive that’s how the conversion works.</p>
<p>well a few B+'s definitely won’t hurt, as long as ur EC’s make up for it, also, it depends on the rigor of the class u were getting the B+ in, also it might help u look like an academic risk taker…never a bad thing</p>
<p>A 93 average is more like a 3.3 gpa. Those grades certainly won’t help. As a deferred applicant, you’ve already been passed over once, and when they look at you again, they’re going to want to see a more compelling reason to accept you. The drop in GPA may hurt, and the fact that your highest grade is in “advanced dance” isn’t good, either. Sorry.</p>
<p>At my school 89.5-93.5 is a B+ (3.5) and 93.5+ is an A (4.0). This means a 93.5 would equate to a 4.0 but a 93 would be a 3.5. I don’t know if they’ll convert it directly or just consider your average. Maybe they’ll look at all your numerical grades and find the average that way.</p>
<p>haha ok forget the gpa my counselor made up. i guess the 3.8 was weighted.
anyways, i kind of figured as much as cav said (although i doubt that my highest grade being in dance will hurt since that’s probably expected…)</p>
