<p>ok, so the other day i got stopped by my guidance counselor in the hall telling me that tufts asked for my 1st quarter grades, and that i was in committee for ED.</p>
<p>my first quarter grades are good, for the most part:</p>
<p>AP Gov: 94
AP English: 90
French: 94
Physics: 94</p>
<p>Except for one GLARING problem...</p>
<p>AP Calc AB: 77!!</p>
<p>Is this going to DESTROY my chances?</p>
<p>I've thought it through both ways:</p>
<p>1) KILLDEATH: They see me vs. another applicant, virtualy identical save for a better grade in a comparable math, and they take that applicant instead of me..:(</p>
<p>2) HAPPINESS: They see that I am at least one standard deviation worse at math (this is significant) than I am at anything else, and this is transcript and test-score wide (example, my SAT I is 800CR/670M/770W, and MY math grades tend to be at least 5-7 points lower than my other grades as a trend). They see that math is a weak point, but decide that they still want me...:)</p>
<p>Which is more likely?</p>
