<p>I applied to a lot of UCs and 4 ivy leagues. I've gotten As on pretty much everything except for a couple Bs in AP classes.</p>
<p>I'm a second semester senior, and my schedule includes AP Calculus BC and AP Government. Both are killing me.</p>
<p>I have Bs in both, and will try to maintain them, but my question is:</p>
<p>What if I end up with Cs in both classes? Will colleges that have already accepted me give me the punt? Are Cs in AP classes different from Cs in normal classes?</p>
<p>I wish I could help. Uh...I think<em>HOPE</em> some privates do the AP credit level thingy, where a B is an A and a C is a B, or something, but I still think it looks bad to have a C.</p>
<p>I'm freaking out similarly. I ended up with a C in AP Physics, and I don't know what it means.
Or if it will screw over my mid-years.
I wish I could help, but I'm in the same boat as you...going out of my MIND.</p>
<p>AP gov?!!!!!! </p>
<p>This will sound rude or whatever, but just drop your life and stay up later. That's how it's done. You may think you're tired, but you're not really tired unless you do 4AM consecutively. I guess I'm the wrong person to comment, as I've gone to the ER for what the ER docs called a stress induced sickness, which happened after I'd ben up till about 5 on consecutive days. </p>
<p>Colleges won't reject you - they may put you on probation though. Try to get them up. Cs are Cs - period. A C freshman year may be understandable, a C senior year... </p>
<p>The question adcoms will ask is - if they can't handle it now in high school, how will they handle it in college?? I know it sucks to hear it, but I'm just the messenger.</p>
<p>You may go to a more competitive public school, with harder classes etc, but I have friends that go to public school who complain about bad grades, and I just have no sympathy. You're young. Suck it up. </p>
<p>I'm sorry, I guess I'm just bitter.</p>
<p>That wasn't helpful at all. Sorry for venting my bitterness on an online forum... exacerbating your already sucky feelings.</p>
<p>C's in AP classes are different than C's in normal classes. I don't think it really matters..in my opinion. I got a C- in AP stat last semester and my couselor told me not to worry about it, but I don't know.</p>
<p>"I got a C- in AP stat last semester"</p>
<p>ME TOO! Let's have a club or something.</p>
<p>Getting C's senior spring is really, really unlikely to kill you. So don't worry.</p>
<p>^^ Well where are you applying?</p>
