<p>i was wondering how important senior year grades are in the college admissions process. im asking because i have an extremely difficult math teacher this term, and math isn’t my forte to begin with, so im expecting a 75 in his class (ab calculus). how will this affect my chances of getting into liberal arts schools like vassar, bryn mawr, mount holyoke and oberlin, considering that everything else this term will be 93+? thanks in advance.</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure a C will definitely hurt your chances... taking jr year's downhill trend into account...</p>

<p>its a 75 for the quarter, ive gotten Cs on quarters before and it didnt seem to effect my chances very much...so dont be too freaked out over a C, especially if the rest of ur grades are As</p>
