<p>Sorry, I have read all the threads about the importance of senior year grades, but I think I'm in a slightly different situation. This year, I have taken the following classes with the corresponding grades:</p>
<p>AP English B
AP Modern Euro A
AP Pysch A
AP Calc BC B
AP Stats C
French IV A</p>
<p>The question I have is this: will that C in Stats really matter especially when I do relatively well in AP Calc BC? For the past few weeks, I have been giving myself a heart attack over that one grade. I enjoy math, which is why I took two math classes, but I worry that C in the extra AP math will hurt my college chances.For comparison, at the end of junior year, I had a UW GPA of 3.89. Also, I applied to Gtown, GWashington, NWestern, Uni. of Chicago, UMass-Amherst, William and Mary, and University of Virginia. If it anyone could give me closure on this issue, it would be a great relief.</p>
<p>its a senior year grade which will most likely not make or break your application, especially if your other grades in high school have been good</p>
<p>Senior grades first semester are critically important. Since your schedule is roughly equivalent to a college level schedule, you have shown exactly how capable you are at handling college level work.</p>
<p>Your semester grades will be important if they are needed and used in order to make an application decision. After you are accepted, the C is not going to matter..................won't matter at all. Not one single bit. You will not get a rescinded offer for a C on your final grades. Won't happen. It could hurt you if you have a C on your first semester grades. </p>
<p>Relax you are in BC. You are fine. I don't know your other scores, SAT's etc.</p>
<p>I mean my SATs are decent (760 CR 700W 620M), but I know, deep down, I'm blowing that C out of proportion. I haven't applied anywhere early, so colleges will see that C, though it is the only one I've had throughout high school.</p>
<p>You will be fine CheeZe. You ARE blowing it out of proportion and that is because you are a student who cares about your grades. Any admission officer will see that it is the only C on your transcript. They will only see it if it's on your semester report. Your SAT's are great. Trust me, you will be fine.</p>
