<p>I'm worried now.</p>
<p>I applied ED and EA to several schools (Cornell, UChicago, Santa Clara and Northeastern) and I just heard that although they won't look at your first semester senior grades, they do look at your first quarter senior grades, and unfortunately, I signed up for 4 of the hardest AP classes at my school plus spanish 7-8 (which is virtually AP level) and is a class that I unfortunately received a C+ grade in my first quarter (by 0.6 percent too!)</p>
<p>Now I'm worried and ****ed at myself. The semester ends soon and unfortunately, my grade is still floating around the B-/C+ range in a class I don't need, don't like and now cannot transfer out of.</p>
<p>I'm prepping like crazy for the final and talking to my teacher in hopes I can find some extra credit or something to prevent me from getting a C in my first semester senior year, but to explain the first quarter grade (and in the event that I do end up receiving a C first semester) should I write a letter to the colleges that I have already applied to? When/how soon should I send it? I'm also applying to UC's and CSU's which I have heard do not really consider Senior year grades; is this true?</p>
<p>I'm seriously freaking out now and need to know what I can/should do ASAP.</p>
<p>I appriciate all advice/insight and thank you all in advance :)</p>
