<p>My colleges:

<p>Final grades are usually the only grades figured into GPA; of course, all four quarters make up the final grade. Usually AP classes are weighted, so it may not have as much of an impact as you think.</p>

<p>Yea but both the 70 and the 93 go into my gpa, it would still be at a a 3.5 though</p>

<p>You still have two more quarters and tests to figure into the final grade.</p>

<p>The 70 is final, the way the transcript works at our school is that they put each semester grade down. The 93 I have now is just at the start of the 2nd semester, so I cant earse the 70</p>

<p>Obviously, it looks better if you never struggle at all. But I frankly think it’s impressive that you’ve apparently conquered whatever was giving you trouble. If the rest of your grades are solid, I wouldn’t worry at all.</p>

<p>I read it wrong–sorry. I agree with Got2BeGreen.</p>

<p>Ok, I just was worried because I see so many posts that people got rejected because of a bad grade. So I shouldnt worry?</p>

<p>Helloo?? 10 char</p>

<p>IMO high school students often think that admissions counselors are looking for a reason to reject them and that is not usually true. If you have a bad semester in one class, it is probably not enough to cause you to be rejected. Often you are asked to write about something that didn’t come easy or caused you to struggle. Do the best you can from this point forward.</p>
