I got a C in AP Calculus this semester. I’ve never gotten a C before. How much will these affect my admission chances at Top 50 schools.
The rest of my grades were As and Bs in 6 AP classes.
I’m a senior so I already applied just so everyone knows.
Lol. I’m sure people who only had one C probably got accepted to their dream school. Just move on
Obviously it’s not a good look, but it depends on the competition in the applicant pool how you will be affected. If you’re smart enough to take 6 AP classes, hopefully you were smart enough to build a balanced college list with safety, match, and reach schools.
Admissions is based on your entire profile. Some schools may not admit you because of something minute in your profile and that may not even be the C. If some schools only accept students who only have A grades, move on. You can earn an excellent education at lots of schools. You might even become a big duck in a small pond who gets a nicer financial package and a quality education.
