Mid-Year Grade

Applying to College

I’m definitely going to end with a C on my mid year in calculus and afraid this will ruin my chances at the schools. I feel that I can definitely bring it up to in the 3rd Quarter, and update my schools on it. I’m just not sure what to think now.

It’s not going to look good, but I don’t think it’s going to break you completely. It also depends on your major - it’ll hurt a lot more if you’re looking into a STEM major. If you have a great application overall and are a stellar applicant, one C won’t destroy you.
