C second semester junior year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I am a junior and I have never gotten a C before. I am an A student with occasional Bs. 1 B freshman year, As sophomore year, one B+ first semester English 11 honors. </p>

<p>My C is in AP Calculus BC. I have a very difficult teacher who believes an AP course means an actual college course. As in our grade consists of 2 midterms and a final for first semester, and 1 midterm and a final second semester. The only thing is the other Calc BC students at my school are getting As easily because different teachers..are different. and easier. My A first semester is due to the more generous curves, and...I guess I just did better first semester. </p>

<p>Will this one C severely hurt me in college admissions? (as opposed to a B in the class) I am thinking of the top UCs (UCB, UCLA, etc.) and/or good private schools. (My SAT is 2270 if that is relevant.) The only thing left for me to do is get a 5 on the calc exam. Will the 5 show anything about my teacher/the course at my school, or does it simply look like I slacked off second semester? I think I'm getting a B in APUSH second semester too..the rest of my classes are As though.</p>

<p>Thanks! I am very worried :(</p>

<p>The 5 will show grade deflation. Of course you will have the C, but the 5 will show that you did understand thr material.</p>

<p>Wait, have you already gotten your grade for the semester or are you projecting it?</p>

<p>I took the AP test today…still hoping desperately for a 5. @NWIStudent We only had 2 tests this semester, and we already took our 2nd midterm. C is my final grade.</p>
