I sent my mid year reports and I’m freaking out because I averaged a C in an AP science class. I’m applying to competitive colleges(WashU and top 20 liberal arts colleges). I averaged one C and As in all of my other honors and AP classes. Will this hurt my chances?? I have pretty good stats and essays.
A C is worse than an A or B, yes. It’s also one of 50-ish semester grades on your transcript. The impact is small but non-zero.
But it’s in the past, so look forward
