[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that unless you're from CA, it's almost impossible to get into UCLA or Berkeley without perfect grades? Also, I find it funny that you listed Northwestern as being easier to get into than the Ivies.[/quote] From a Big 3, Northwestern is definitely easier to get into than most of the Ivies, except maybe Cornell - especially applying ED. OP, if your DD has a great junior year, the C+ won't make much of a difference -- junior year is the most important gradewise in HS. But the PPs are right that you might want to dial back your expectations for college for her because all the schools you've listed are reaches for pretty much any Big 3 student, even ones with almost all A's.[/quote] +1 Northwestern accepts 11% of students. Most Ivies (excluding Cornell or Penn) are in the 5-6% range.[/quote]
