<p>In the second semester of Junior year, I got a C in my Honors Algebra 2 class. I have A's in all of my other class except for AP English (in which I have a B in) and my GPA is 4.5 (weighted). The C just really bothers me and I was wondering if there is anything I should do about it, or if I should even be worried in the first place. </p>
<p>To give an idea, here are the schools that I plan on applying to so far:
- UCLA
- UC Berkely
- NYU
- Boston University</p>
<p>Will the C ruin my chances of getting in? Also, should I even try to apply to any Ivy leagues, despite the C?</p>
<p>Can you explain some of the circumstances resulting in your C? If you don’t have any, that can be problematic, seeing as it’s in a core course. Not as much as many seeing that your GPA is pretty good otherwise, but it can’t be ignored.</p>
<p>Also, out of curiosity what major(s) are you planning? :)</p>
<p>Though I don’t think you should be that worried about NYU/Boston U. just my 2cents</p>
<p>Won’t help you, but it won’t kill you. I’ve never gotten a C, but you still have a higher GPA then I do, because I’ve gotten so many B’s. I’ll wager UCLA/UCB are matches/high matches, long as you have good essays, and NYU and BU are probably safeties.</p>
