<p>Hey everyone,
I applied to Cornell Early Decision(School of Engineering) and they requested my 1st quarter grades. I don't know if this is good or bad, but there is a problem. I take 4 AP Classes this year and got 1 A-, 2 B+ and 1 C. The C was in AP English II and I have a very difficult teacher. Will this dramatically decrease my chances for Engineering? Should I send a note explaining? I hope this 1 bad quarter doesn't mess up my chances to go Cornell. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
