Grade change after transcript release?

<p>As it turns out, I received a high C in my second semester AP European history course junior year. This came from a teacher who severely dislikes discussing grades, and I was afraid to approach him about it until late into first semester. Surprsingly, he seemed to sympathize (as it is quite inconsistent with my previous academic success) and offered that I write a paper to make up for some points I lost. </p>

<p>The dilemma is this - my transcripts have already been sent out with the C on them. I could still write the paper and my grade would presumably be changed to B, a vast improvement (and definitely a way to boost my chances at admissions). </p>

<p>As I understand, I still have to send my mid-year report and could potentially attach a revised transcript. </p>

<p>Is it worth getting the change, or would it look too sketchy? It's the only C I've ever gotten and my transcript would look a lot better without it...How should I approach this offer?</p>

<p>Cash in. Do your paper and get your B. What could it hurt? A single C on a transcript won't prevent you from being accepted but it will damage your ego.</p>

<p>It's difficult to detect tone through text, but I'm sensing hostility? My ego is the least of my worries...</p>

<p>Gah, I just noticed I started this thread in the wrong subforum. Any way I could get this moved to "College Admissions"?</p>

<p>Anyone? Anything?</p>
