<p>All of my C+ classes would have been Bs or B- grades if I had received a C or better on all of the finals, except I got Ds and Fs on all three of them. The same thing happened with my sophomore second semester math, and religion classes. I am worried about getting into college. I will apply to conservatories and universities, but I don't know how my second semester sophomore/ first semester junior year slump will look. My goal is all As second semester. Have I lost all hope of getting into a good college? My most competitive academic schools are Rice, U of Michigan, U of Maryland, UNC Chapel Hill, and USC.Based on my calculations I think I should have about a 3.5 right now. </p>
<p>NOTE: I probably won't apply to all of those, and I am applying as a music student. I just don't want my grades to keep me from going.</p>
