1 C in high school- college admissions

[lipbalm]

<p>Throughout high school, I've gotten 2 B's and all A's, but this semester, my physics final was worth 40% of my grade and I did poorly on it and I ended up with a C (had a B before).</p>

<p>How does this affect admissions (especially ivies/top colleges)? Will this be an outlier? I've gotten all A's this semester except for that C. I'm so so so so scared. I'm a second semester senior now that finals are over & I got accepted to a couple colleges already for early action.</p>

<p>It will raise a red flag for a lot of higher up schools - think Ivy League & Top 20. However, I think it won’t be too much of an issue for the vast majority of schools.</p>
