MidYear Report

Applying to College
1

<p>I just had my guidance counselor send in my midyear reports a few days ago. My school does block scheduling, but half of my classes are all year classes. AP Physics B, AP English Lit & AP MacroEcon (The last two are a "seminar" class so we switch off having those two classes every other day but I have those classes all year). I asked my GC if my colleges would see the two quarter grades since I didnt have a final grade or a semester grade in those classes. He said that he would send my report card so the schools could see what my quarter grades. I just have a few concerns about this:</p>

<p>1) In AP Calc AB I got A B both quarters. Since I felt that I had a good grasp on the material I didn't feel that I needed to study much for the final, and since I had two B's I didnt need to to amazing on it to get a B as my final grade. The final ended up killing me and I got a D on it. Since my final grade is still a B will they care about what I got on the final or will this count against me?</p>

<p>2) In AP English Literature I got a B first quarter and a C 2nd quarter. how much will this count against me? My other grades were:</p>

<p>Computer Science: A, A
AP Physics B: A, B
AP MacroEcon: A, A
AP Eng. Lit: B, C
AP Calc AB: B, B</p>

<p>how much will that C count against me?</p>

<p>I think it would depend on what schools you were applying to...</p>

<p>I mean a C is never good, but it will be looked upon differently at Harvard than say, UMass or something.</p>

<p>The schools that I sent midyear reports to were:</p>

<p>Bucknell
Lehigh
Villanova
Case Western
RIT</p>

<p>Will getting a D on my Calc final look bad even though I got a B overall in the class or will that still count against me?</p>

<p>Your transcript has your exam grades or your report card has them?</p>

<p>my report card. My transcript just has final grades but for my midyear report my guidance counselor sent in my report card so colleges could see my two quarter grades in the classes that were all year, and my report card has the final exam grades.</p>
