Can I get into Brown with a C in 1st Semester Senior Year?

<p>AP Calc BC is horrible. Absolutely horrible. And my case is even worse, because there are two sections at my school--I have the crazy teacher that gives more than half the class a C, and the other teacher is both an incredible teacher and gives a ton of As.</p>

<p>And we're all competing against those kids.</p>

<p>I hate this.</p>

<p>WHY IS CALC BC SO RETARDED...</p>

<p>I've made a conclusion that calc bc doesn't like a lot of CC students...</p>

<p>are you guys juniors/seniors? im a junior and im going to drop calc bc pretty soon :D</p>

<p>and just take it again next year :P</p>

<p>I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS.</p>

<p>My teacher is a serious moron who doesn't know how to teach and has idiotic grading scale.
The other teacher is just brilliant (had him 2 years ago), period.</p>

<p>You can get into Brown with any grades; as long as you're able to play the drum and smoke pot, you're pretty much well off and ready for Providence!</p>

<p>I got a C in AP Calc BC first marking period, too.
and i'm probably going to get another this marking period.</p>

<p>ugh =[</p>

<p>how about a C in AP Calc AB your junior year 1st semester :( :( :( :( :( somehow I still have a 4.1 gpa and I got a 4 on the AP exam</p>

<p>but it still bothers me.......... ....... ....... ..........</p>

<p>screw calc.</p>

<p>I think I got a C in my college psych class.</p>

<p>I don't think this is good. Considering I want to double major in psych.
But it's not my fault the teacher was an incompetent fool.</p>

<p>How does this affect my chances anyway?</p>

<p>Actually scratch that. I got a B+ in psych.</p>

<p>I got a C in my other college class, History of Math.
Goddamnit.</p>

<p>Same question applies. Just for that class.</p>

<p>i got a 5 on the AP Calc AB exam and i'm failing BC with a C+ right now</p>

<p>holy.
crap.</p>

<p>sigh...</p>

<p>i'm not alone! D: its sad..but it makes me feel a bit better :) im dying in ap bio .. grrr
good luck with calc bc :]</p>

<p>i got an A+ in calc - with the highest avg in my class.. 106.8? yeh gg</p>

<p>haha i have a C+ in BC Calc too</p>

<p>I have at least two B's this semester, both in 2 of my 3 APs...probably due to all my apps. I hope this doesn't kill my chances, as they were never that great to start with.</p>

<p>after I finished my apps I'm actually doing really well, even getting ahead in class, but it won't reverse the damage in time for finals :(</p>

<p>ok I got an A 1st quarter in calc and I'm prob getting like a C 2nd quarter because of stupid nonsense and my teacher's grading policies.</p>

<p>for the semester, colleges are just gonna see my semester grade in calc a B,
but brown wouldn't give a **** since I'm a classics major anyway, right??</p>

<p>wow, calc is one of my easiest classes (96 1st quarter, 95 2nd), our schools must be very diff
our grades come mostly from tests and a few quizzes, and no curve</p>

<p>it might not be that the schools are different; some people are just naturally better (or worse) than others at math.</p>

<p>soo no one really answered the question.. is a c gunna kill the chances of getting in b/c i may be getting a C+ in ap calc.............. has anyone gotten in previous years w/ a C in their mid-marking period grades for senior year?</p>

<p>I seriously doubt that Brown sees a C and immediately puts an application into the "deny" pile. Whether you are accepted with a C depends on the strength of the rest of your transcript, the class in which it is happening (the discussions of AP Calc killing GPAs happens around this time every year on CC, so I'm sure Brown as well as other colleges is quite aware of the difficulty of this class), the profile of your school, and how much Brown wants you. Do kids with Cs get in? Yes. But they better offer something in their application that is very attractive.</p>
