<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I had a mix of A's and B's on my report cards throughout my high school year, except for up till now. I manage to get good grades in the 1st quarter of my senior year, but i got my first C in an AP class during the second quarter. i was sick during the second quarter, so I believed that the midyear report wouldn't be an accurate representation of my academic performance in school. What should I do at this point? any suggestions?(btw....its kinda depressing to get a C in an AP calculus BC class when i'm majoring in engineering. i hope I'm not gonna get rejected from all of the schools I applied to for that reason)</p>

<p>I don’t mean to destroy your hopes and dreams, but a mixed bag of As and Bs probably isn’t going to cut it for NU, anyway. The best you can do is e-mail the admissions office and explain your sickness and its impact on your grade. Good luck, though! I hope things turn out well.</p>
