<p>So this year I decided to take Multivariate calculus as a senior--WORST MISTAKE EVER.</p>
<p>I got a 65 and it is going to show up in my mid year report.</p>
<p>I was wondering if colleges might overlook this considering that really is the worst grade I have on my transcript?</p>
<p>plus I'm black so idk if that helps a bit (not many black ppl take Calc III)
and i do not plan to be a math or science MAJOR!</p>
<p>Is this a 65 average or a 65 on one test grade?</p>
<p>If its an average, that is pretty low. Things in the 70s are explainable but a mid 60s? </p>
<p>But if you’re not into math/science then I guess it won’t hurt as much.</p>
<p>Very, very few seniors take multivariable calculus. You should not have anything to worry about. MIT would probably look at that as a plus. Caltech likely would not.</p>
<p>Ivy league schools and top LACs could be ambivalent about it. It really depends on the context in which you took the class. Is it offered to seniors at your high school, or did you take initiative and study it at a local university/community college? </p>
<p>If the latter, I doubt that it will be a black mark. If you go to a place like Stuyvesant or Exeter, you might be in worse shape.</p>
<p>It’s offered to seniors at my high school and I go to another specialized high school</p>
