<p>I'm a senior who's applying to several ivy leagues and I was just wondering how this will affect my application: I got a C on my AP physics midterm. The midterm is a percentage grade from a single test that shows up on my report card that my school sends out to colleges along with the first two quarter grades of senior year. I've managed to get all A's in the first two quarters for all of my classes (including AP physics), and I have never gotten even a B in a class before. But my AP teacher refused to curve the grades, and everyone did horribly.</p>
<p>One grade won’t kill your chances. It won’t do you any favors, but it’s not going to make or break you</p>
