<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Recently I finished applying to my colleges. They are fairly selective and have anywhere from a 25-40% acceptance rate (excluding safeties). My grades have been good, all As and Bs, but it appears very likely that I will receive C in AP Biology for the second trimester. </p>
<p>I had previously had an A in Biology for the first trimester, but my new teacher has decided to make the class significantly more difficult. As a result, my grade dropped a lot. However, I am doing better in two of my other courses and just as well in the others. How much can this C hurt my chances of being admitted? I feel comforted by the fact the Bio is usually a hard course and that they do not receive the grades until early March, but I'm still unnerved. Any ideas about how much this will affect my chances?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
