There is one core class I’ve always been bad at, which is killing my GPA. I’ll be applying to colleges ranked 50-100. Do you think they might realize that it’s affecting my GPA, and slightly over look the GPA, cause one class?
<p>How bad is it compared to your other classes?</p>
<p>4 A's 3 B's and a D. I've always had a 3.5+ easily with out that one class. And I take my share of honors and AP courses.</p>
<p>D is hard to overlook. but it depends a bit on the class....because there may be things to do to make up for it!!</p>
<p>Well the class I'm struggling in, I'll be taking AP in that core subject next year. And I plan on attending a local university over the summer, to help prepare me for it. Will that help?</p>
<p>What subject is it? Taking the AP shows that you're being persistent and not avoiding your weaknesses. You should have your guidance counselor mention that in the recommendation.</p>
<p>As for the grade, it might be somewhat overlooked if it's not related to your major, but it really depends on the school and how they interpret it. I doubt, however, that it can be completely ignored. A D is not "good," no matter how you look at it.</p>
<p>It's math, and I plan on taking stat next year. I honestly really like math, I'm really into the stock market and love to play with numbers. But for some reason I just don't do well on Math test. This year, I got a tutor, and my math teacher realizes that I really try. I plan on taking a stat course over the summer, so I get a good understanding of it before I go into it. Should I get my math teacher to write me a reccomendation for college? Cause she really likes me, and knows that I really do try. In missouri we also take this thing called MAP, which is standerized testing in core subjects. I scored in the top 5% for math. Could I some how get my counselor to show it to the colleges in some kind of way?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
