Retaking Classes in HS

So here’s the dealio: junior year I made the painfully wretched decision of taking Calc AB when I definitely wasn’t ready for the class. I received a C and am planning on retaking it during the first semester of my senior year. I’m also planning on applying early action to a college. Say I retake the class and get an A. Would my new grade even show up on my transcript if I apply early action since I would still be in the middle of my first semester of senior year? Do colleges even look at your current senior year grades when reviewing EA applications? Please help I am distressed!

For early action/decision, colleges will not see your senior year grades until after you’ve been accepted/denied. I would only EA to schools that you’re sure are safeties and RD to match/reach schools.

Will colleges see your senior year grades if you apply RD?

@alwaysconfused02 They’ll see your 1st semester grades and factor those into their decision.

But they will also see that you are repeating a course and factor that into their decision.
