<p>Hi I am a high school student living in N. Cali....just wanted to ask a question to Harvard admits about my chances......
So far in terms of grades I had managed fairly well, but what worries me are two things: a C in english elective class in first semester freshman year and a B in honors chemistry for first semester in sophmore year. Except for these two horrible mistakes, other classes are all As'. I managed to replace the C with an A from a comm. college course, but the C still shows in my transcript, although my high school cumulative GPA is raised. Would this C in freshman year, combined with the B in my sophomore year totally destory my chances to Harvard? I am pretty strong in terms of test scores and ECs......but still, would these two bad letter grades kill my chances entirely...? Does Harvard admissions take high school freshman grades seriously or just disregard them entirely? Any comment or feedback would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>None of us is really in the position to say . . . </p>
<p>Still, as long as you're doing well now, you shouldn't worry yourself to death over it. Besides, what's the use of worrying about something you can't change? Just continue to do your best.</p>
<p>Well, your C won't hurt you alot since you improved alot.
Relax, a C won't kill you, a B as well:)</p>
