I saw a topic about someone who wanted to know their chances a college. I'm in the state of uncertainty myself after failing a semester of AP bio and a semester of AP euro. so has anyone been rejected by all the schools they applied for? I hope this never happens to me, any suggestions on what I can do to improve my overall image? Im a junior btw :]

ask your teachers if theres anything you can do to make up your grade.
I have some pretty shitty teachers this year and im also a junior. I havent applied to any colleges yes but im probably going to start filling some out in the spring after i do the ACT obviously. |

It happened to this girl I knew. She was an IB student with a 4.0 and decent extracurriculars. She applied to all the top 10 liberal and national universities inthe US and was rejected by all of them. She's studying in Australia now. haha.

She wasn't my friend. Well, for one, she took the easy IBs and her essay probably wasn't good enough

QUOTE(Aberisk @ Nov 12 2008, 09:23 PM) dang how? she sounded like a perfect student, was she a druggie or something (no offense to your friend) because nowadays, there are so many more applicants and everybody's pretty well-rounded. harvard rejects around 2,000 valedictorians a year (4/5 valedictorians) as well as students with perfect SAT/ACT scores. being top of your class doesn't guarantee you anything. seriously, you'll have to find the cure to cancer or something  quite ridiculous.
