<p>Hey all, I'll get straight to the point. My school sends out mid year reports that have both first and second marking period grades. My first marking period was stellar and I had a 4.5 weighted GPA. </p>
<p>However, my second marking period grades are not up to par. I recently found out that I will have a C for the second marking period (I got a B+ in this class first marking period). Am I screwed for regular admission at top colleges? I have applied to Penn, Cornell, Harvard (for lols), Williams, Wesleyan, Bowdoin and Pomona among other schools. I was recently admitted EA to the University of Michigan. </p>
<p>I'm worried that this one C will ruin me. Does it help that the combined grade of first & second marking period is a B? (Colleges will see the C, however)</p>
<p>I admit that this was due to senioritis. I am a decent math student (800 math sat 1, 780 math level 2) but slipped mostly due to ennui following my deferral from an Ivy in the early round.</p>
<p>SATs are 2300+ if that matters any.</p>
