One Bad Semester

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a Sophomore in High school with a 3.9 weighted GPA and a 3.7 unweighted GPA. I'm in 2 AP classes (Microeconomics and English language) 2 math classes (so I can take AP Calc senior year) and all honors classes. This semester started off and crashed and it's half way through the semester and I have straight B's, C's, and an F. If I bring my grades up to at least a 2.8 GPA then my GPA will be a 3.5 UW. Will one bad semester hurt my chances at Emory (or Oxford College of Emory)? I have a double legacy there. I have many extracurriculars (rowing, sports medicine, sunday school teacher, and leader and naturalist in training) and am not expecting to do as badly next semester.
AFTER READING PLEASE ANSWER:
1.) Will 1 bad semester hurt my chances?
2.) Next semester should I take one on-level class to lessen my stress and boost my GPA?
P.S. I'm planning on having taken at least 7 AP classes by the time I graduate.</p>

<p>THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!</p>

<p>Sorry you are having a bad semster. At this point, just do whatever you can to bring up that F. If you rebound next semester and Junior year, you should be ok. </p>

<p>But… please chill on the AP classes. Don’t take so many that you can’t juggle all your academics and ECs.</p>
