How will a C in Senior year affect my chances

Applying to College
1

<p>I am applying to the University of CAlifornia, and the deadline is Nov 30. This means that initially they don't see your senior grades. My counseler says that I should be fine as long as I don't get any C-,D, or Fs, and if my grades don't take a huge dive. But I have heard stories of people who got accepted into UCSD or Berkeley but later got told that they couldn't attend because of a C they got in senior year. </p>

<p>I'm asking because I'm in danger of getting a C in calculus BC, and it would be my first C. I have a 3.85 weighted GPA and so far this year all my other grades are As.</p>

<p>Anyone know anything about this?</p>

<p>Not a big deal. A C in arguably the toughest AP during senior year is not going to make or break your app</p>

3

<p>why would that be harder than Physics C?</p>

4

<p>ok chill out... i didn't mean to make this into a comparison of AP courses. Does it really matter?</p>

5

<p>no, i'm just bored :D</p>

6

<p>It probably won't matter too much but definitely try and pull your grade up if possible. Seek extra help from your teacher or classmates.</p>

<p>sheed30, for me calc is way harder than phys c. right now Im pulling off a relatively easy A in physics and struggling in calc.</p>

<p>Isn't Physics C based off calc though? Maybe it's just schools.</p>

<p>you must have a relatively easy physics teacher, i have the opposite problem of you. physics c is ripping me a new one. my physics teacher always says that calc is just a tool 4 physics...it makes my calc teacher mad... but it is true, newton invented calc to solve physics problems</p>

<p>Actually Newton created Calculus to explain his theories in Physics. I'm having a similar, I'm struggling in Calculus, but I'm doing fine in Physics. In Calc, I can never get the problems, and can only explain them with Physics. It's like my mind is working backwards.</p>
