<p>Basically, I'm terrible at Math. I took H. Pre-Cal my Sophomore Year, and 2nd semester, I got a C. It's the ONE C on my transcript. However, my Junior Year, I took 8 classes, and had a 4.0. Do you think I should address that grade in the "additional info" area? I tutored in Pre-Cal my Junior Year so that I could help others do better since I know what it was like to struggle, and then I became the VP of NHS, in charge of tutoring. Would that C ruin my chances at Ivies?</p>

<p>I have a 3.75UW, 4.5W (3.5 9th, 3.7 10th, 4.0 11th) and a 2230. I have decent EC's, I played a sport, I had a 2-year legal internship, my recs are good (at worst), and I think my essays are good.</p>

<p>Thanks! <3</p>

<p>I’m in the same situation as you. I got a C in Pre-Calc Honors…the ONLY C on my transcript. But that was my junior year, and i’m not even taking calc this year. I feel like this is going to hurt by chances by ALOT. by i still applied ED to Penn because i have great EC’s, Recs, and essays. My interview also went very well. However, my sat scores are average, and my gpa is the same as yours.</p>

<p>My counselor has told me that even with that C i look like a strong candidate. I just really hope he is right. I find out tomorrow if i got in, deferred, or rejected. So when that happens, i will let you know if it “ruins” your chances or not.</p>

<p>One C will not ruin your chances. Take a look at these threads:</p>
