C on my mid-year report (ED Admissions)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

I applied ED and got a C on my first trimester in one class (AP Calc AB). I am not going to bother you by explaining the reasons because they are probably irrelevant; the fact is I got a C and that’s that. The rest of my grades are fine, and reflect my other years of high school.

How bad is this? How much will it hurt my chances? Do I have any chance at all?

Are you going to be STEM major?

If you are a strong candidate, you may get deferred to the RD round to see how you keep up your grades your senior year. If you get deferred, you should send a note to ADCOM explaining why you got the grade and bring it back to an A next semester. Good luck.
