<p>Well, I was just thinking about this, and I'm getting nervous. I had a rough freshman year, only came out of it with a 3.0 GPA. I took all honors, and that took a while to get used to, coming from middle school where you never work. I got a C in Honors Biology. Now, from my transcript, you can tell I'm not a science person; I've always performed better in other classes. But my science grades aren't all bad, A in Honors Chem, B in Honors Physics, and an A+ last quarter in AP Chem. </p>
<p>I'm hoping that they'll pass over it because it was freshman year and it's not all that important. Senior year is turning out to be one of my best years grade-wise and certainly my toughest course load.</p>
<p>It depends on a lot of other things. One grade is a very small factor. </p>
<p>Also, what is your intended college/major? You say you arent a science person, so I presume its not engineering, CALS, or the "S" part os CAS. It might not matter if you are applying to, say, the hotel school.</p>
<p>you think you have it bad? first semester freshman year I got 2 c's,1 d and b's (IB 5.0 scale). second semester I made 1 c, rest a's b's, and from thereon out I made all a's and b's. I got deferred ED from COE, so even with all those bad marks, I guess I still have a chance.</p>
<p>if you are deferred or applying RD, then getting a C on your midyear report senior year is probably really bad. my g.c and cornell told me that senior grades are really important, so getting a C will hurt you. i feel your pain though im trying to get my grades up this year too :(</p>
