Amherst College First Quarter Grades

<p>I was recruited for a sport at Amherst College and for ED I need to send in my first quarter grades report but I have a C in one class, a B in another and A's in the rest. The quarter passed and now I have a high C in one class and A's in everything else. My early read went well and it was recommended that I apply early decision but now I'm having doubts about whether I will be able to get in. I have a solid ACT+Writing score and a pretty good GPA but will my quarter grades affect me getting accepted into the college?</p>

<p>You have a single C, and are a recruited athlete? Not a deal-breaker, I think. Do it. No, quarter grades alone will not have a major impact. </p>

<p>As long as your not failing you are fine. Try to improve your grades.</p>
