<p>Will two C's soph. year greatly reduce chances to get in to schools like AU, BU, Northeastern, NYU, Northwestern, Syracuse?</p>
<p>I was curious.</p>
<p>Not 'greatly'. But a little, yes... many Northwestern and NYU applicants have never gotten a B.</p>
<p>but many have.....and some even had C's</p>
<p>you won't find many Cs at northwestern</p>
<p>NU = Ivy of hte Midwest. That should tell you enough about Cs and getting in. If you are a recruited football player, you dont have to worry. NU is big 10 and one C wont destroy your chances. At NYU, 2 Cs could hurt, but wont be the only reason you are rejected.</p>
<p>I also have an issue with getting C's. And not just one. Or two. I haven't had one semester where I haven't received at least one C. Then again, I have taken all possible honors courses and I attriubute the C's to just not managing my time well. With a 34 ACT, do you think I have any tangible chance at Northwestern? (im looking for just a general idea since i havent given any stats)</p>
<p>Probably not...if you get at least one C a semester, then you're probably making some Bs too, right? If so...Northwestern is out of your reach</p>
<p>Fantastic test scores and a mediocre GPA and Class Rank tell colleges that a student is brilliant, but lazy or unmotivated. Top colleges do not want lazy or unmotivated students. Northwestern is a top college.</p>
<p>i had an C and D in calc junior year.
i currently have an A in the hardest math class available at my school (HL math)
how much will it hurt me? (in general)</p>
<p>You won't know until you try...I say go for it. If you get in, great. If not, you go somewhere else.</p>
<p>OP can't be lazy or unmotivated if he took the hardest classes available. I understand what taking like 4 APs feels like.</p>
