<p>During the 2nd semester of my freshman year, I received a C in one of my classes.(The others all A's... so Gpa= 3.6)</p>
<p>How heavily does this affect my chances??</p>
<p>Colleges like an upward trend, so thats a positive, but they also hate when transcripts are blemished with the dreaded C.
No one can really say how it'll affect your chances.</p>
<p>I think if you've had only A's since freshman year, it shouldn't have much effect. I had a C+ and two A-'s my freshman year, and I still got in.</p>
<p>how about a D+ in freshman year.....i know its like a NEVER to alllyou students but.. please do reply anyways.</p>
<p>Do you know if the admissions officers are interested into why I received that terrible C? ( I have good reasons why...)</p>
<p>Stele did you have upward trends after that?</p>
<p>I had a B+ average my freshman year, but I slowly brought it up to an A-, A and then A+ during my junior year. Just don't mess up. They allow for one B and C here and there (Overall I think I had about 10+ Bs on my transcript), and I was deferred and made it regular action.</p>

<p>What'd you score in the SAT? What EC's did you have? Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, there's that certain website that you can go to and I have all my stats under the same username. </p>
<p>SAT I: 740V 800M (took only once)
ECs: Regional Director of Education and Comm. Affairs at my church and Co-Captain of my dragonboat team (those were like my major 2... it took up A LOT of time)...</p>
<p>yahooo: Yes, I did. Since freshman year, all of my grades have been A's.</p>
<p>how competitive are these schools and courses?</p>
<p>do they count the difficulty of the course (for most, a B in our Honors math course is a godsend)?. I ask because I think my class has about 2~3 kids with final grades of an A (out of 22), and yet we send upwards of 4 or 5 to Harvard every year. </p>
<p>Is my HS an anomly because its very competitive?</p>
<p>My school is nowhere near competitive. I'd say we're better known for our athletics than our academics.</p>
<p>Colleges usually have a profile of a school so that they know how easy the courses are, and thus, how easy it is to get an A.</p>
