<p>Hi everyone! I'm currently taking my first AP (US history) class for junior year, and really worried if my bad 1st semester grade will make me look bad for college admission! </p>
<p>Although I'm not the only one struggling in that class, I feel like it was a horrible mistake to choose US History as my very first AP subject. Since I'm a foreign student, this is my first time learning about American history, and I'm also having a bit trouble writing/reading with my lack of English skill. :(</p>
<p>I got really bad grade for first semester, though I'm getting better lately. I got C- for 1st qt & B- for 2nd qt, which makes the total first semester grade C. However, I'm putting lots of effort lately and now getting A-. Do you think that "gradual improvement" will cover my horrible first sem. grade? What would colleges think?</p>
