bad ab calc grade

Applying to College
1

<p>so after a long year of not paying attention to the teacher i ended up with a 78% for the year in my ab calc class. however, during that time of not paying attention i taught myself calc II and got a 5 on the bc exam with a 5 ab subscore. otherwise i had all high a's and am ranked 7/523. i am the only student in the top 20 who ever got a c in a class.</p>

<p>will colleges look at this as a bad student teacher relationship, as i did all of the work and got 99% of the answers right, or as a slacking student, or a some combination of, or as a very motivated student? (i hope it is the last, but somehow, that seems unlikely)</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>well you got a damn 5 on the calc bc test. it might be construed as you being lazy but gifted, or the teacher being bad (and you self-studying). either way, who knows.</p>

<p>That could probably be interpreted as you being inconsistent,
or you improving with a lot of self-study, which actually is very nice.</p>

4

<p>is there a way which i can have the 5 listed next to my grade, since the grade does not represent my knowledge on the subject? i have a question in for my guidance counselor, but we are not on very good terms so she will probably not be overly accommodating.</p>

<p>No, but you can send in your AP scores when you apply.</p>
