Can colleges reject you if you have high GPA but had 1 or 2 bad (D,F,C… especially D and F) grades…
What is more important?? Good GPA?? or good invidual grades…
did you hear anything about that???
And if they care about individual grades, do they look a lot at your sophomore and freshman grades
<p>What is the best way to overshadow a bad grade (if it can hurt)??</p>
<p>Summer Schoo???
AP Exam???
SAT II???
etc..</p>
<p>Depends. What was the class?</p>
<p>community college...</p>
<p>not only are they easy A's, they are also weighted by most colleges</p>
<p>If you try to remedy a grade with the remedial counterpart to the class (let's say you failed calculus, the counterpart would be Calculus I at a local community college) -- that will help your case, if you manage to succeed there.</p>
<p>If you failed an AP class but got a 5 on the AP test, then that may, to a lesser degree, help your case.</p>
<p>Still, try to steer clear.</p>
<p>does taking higher level courses in the subject and getting As make up for lower grades in the past??</p>
<p>I'm in the same position.. failing AP Calculus --</p>
<p>I talked to my counselor and he said that getting a good score on the AP test will definitely help</p>
<p>definitely repeat any D or F that you can; even if the two are averaged, it brings up your gpa. Adcoms have to have a good reason to admit anyone whose gpa and test scores are below the median for the class...</p>
<p>some schools like Princeton and the UC's don't look at Frosh grades.</p>
<p>whats the usual median of the class??</p>
<p>3.2sh??</p>
