<p>How much will those C's in Spanish 3 Freshman year ruin my chances of getting into universities like Boston College, Boston University, University of Notre Dame, and USC?
I was a bad student in 9th grade and I have matured quite a bit over the last 2 years.
I'm a URM by the way. I am only mentioning that because I have noticed that students on College Confidential say it helps.</p>

<p>You are honestly good to go! Your GPA is really good, but colleges also take into account extra curricular and your SAT/ACT scores. Being a URM is also going to be a huge help. I’m pretty sure you can get into any college you would like. Good luck! I’m sure you’re going to do great. (:</p>

<p>Thanks very much!
I’m black/white so I couldn’t pronounce any of the words in Spanish hahaha</p>

4

<p>Your GPA looks really good. That one C shouldn’t affect you too much.</p>

5

<p>Thanks very much</p>

6

<p>Man it’s a bit sad to see our education system so competitive. Anyway, that C won’t drag you down. Colleges prefer to see students who gradually become better students/leaders, which you completely demonstrate within your report cards. Good luck and always give your best effort!</p>

7

<p>The C won’t be enough to keep you out! The vast majority of your grades are As with an obv upward trend! I’m glad you turned it around. Keep up the good work!</p>

8

<p>Thanks very much!</p>

9

<p>colleges like to see an upward trend in grades from fresh to senior year. so just improve!</p>

10

<p>I’m relieved.</p>

11

<p>The upward trend will help a lot plus a lot of APs. The As in the APs will overshaddow the Cs freshman year. Match BU, Low Reach BC, Reach ND, USC</p>

12

<p>It looks fine, but make sure your SAT score matches your GPA! Aim for around a 2100. BU and BC seem like matches and ND and USC might be slight reaches. Good luck :)</p>

13

<p>Thanks!
My ACT is a 29</p>
