Well, I am getting a C+ in spanish, a 79.96 to be exact, and the teacher refuses to round :(, even though my low grade is partly her fault, because when I came back from being sick, she told me I missed nothing, and then when grading rolls around, she failed me on a paper because I did not do it, and it was given on the day I was sick. I am going to be an economics or business major, and I have As in all my other subject (A- in AP Econ, A- in AP Bio, A in English and A in math), so I don’t think that a C+ in a class that has nothing to do in what I want to be would hurt me? Correct me if I am wrong please…
<p>It depends on where you're applying, but no, it shouldn't look that bad even at the top schools as long as your other grades are good (they seem to be).</p>
<p>Thanks... the hardest school I am applying to is Brown, and the JHU, Tufts, Wash U, CMU, Colgate, NYU stern, Lehigh and a few others...</p>
<p>unfortunately, non-hooked admits to top schools have no C's on their report card. Suggest you ask your GC to explain in his/her report.</p>
<p>I don't think your C will hurt your GPA since three of your classes are weighted and they are A's.</p>
<p>2 of my classes are weighted...</p>
<p>Well, two weighted classes is still good... don't worry... I think I'm getting a C in Math (first semester).</p>
<p>Thanks.. I hope so.</p>
<p>wut about a D? hehe...</p>
<p>don't you think a "D" is a little harsh? Lol. at my school, if u get a D, u get an F. it's crazy. So cherish your "C".</p>
<p>Um i've noticed on allot of people's stats that they post C+ or B-. Do colleges look at how high or low your letter grade is? I though an A- or A+ is considered the same thing. My transcript just says A or B and the credit given is the same also.</p>
<p>My transcript gives letter grades only (no numbers), but they do show - or +.</p>
<p>Colleges don't look at the minuses or pluses, i think.</p>
<p>crazy, I got a D in AP Bio last term (68) and probably gonna fail this term because I don't do homework and stuff. Still accepted to a top 25 school. Go figure, right?</p>
<p>At my school an A- is a 3.7 and an A is a 4.0, the + and - make a difference in terms of gpa.</p>
<p>i'm not worried about getting into colleges, cause i already got most of my acceptances, i'm more worried about those schools that withdraw offers, mine is a regular class and it's japanese, which is unrelated to wut i'm going to do in college, which is engineering</p>
