[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child in TJ - current Junior and may end with B grade in AP Calc BC. I have heard all grades should be A being Asian to get into Ivy/MIT/Stanford. What are the chances for those schools for a Bio major with a B grade in AP Calc BC and remaining As or A- in Junior year. Overall GPA end of Junior will be close to 4.3; SAT 1570+; Good ECs[/quote]

Hire a college counselor. They’ll evaluate transcript and ECs. Might be able to pivot to another major, add some summer stuff to support it and overall strengthen chances.

Bio is still tough - especially for Asian females. If the goal is medical field, there are many other major options.[/quote]

Yes. But so much depends on ECs. Without that , the rest of this discussion is pointless.

With the right ECs, this kid would have a lot more options - skip MIT and reframe the goals.

NO!  
These public health and global health majors were INCREDIBLY popular this year.  I know a lot of very top kids shut out from top20 schools.  You have to get far more obscure than this. [/quote]

What is an obscure biology major?[/quote]
