Terrible midyear grades? Will it kill me?

<p>My 1st quarter I had three C's and 2nd I have 2 D's will it hurt me . I'm applying for temple and howard????</p>

<p>If you have them in your semester grades, you can be assured they will affect you. Do whatever it takes to pull them up.</p>

<p>You understand that your jr and sr year classes and grades are the best predictors of your college success, right? If so, you’re showing something very very scary to colleges.</p>

<p>You need to cancel whatever is distracting you and get some tutoring. Or you’re in community college in Sept, I’m afraid.</p>

<p>Looking over some of your other stats, I was wrong to say “Or you’re in community college in Sept, I’m afraid.”</p>

<p>In all sincerity: I think you’re best in going to a community college or Junior college this Fall. You had an overall 2.96GPA and this last semester you got a 1.60 GPA which moves you to ~2.7 cumulative GPA. Community college can get you up to speed for eventual college success. Don’t just go through the motions and be determined to be at a 4 year college in Sept. You want to be somewhere in Sept (or even this summer) where you’ll get the tools you need to get an eventual diploma. I contend it’s not a 4 yr college in Sept.</p>

<p>But you should also discover what is at the reason you dipped this last semester, honestly. And how that’s going to change this current semester. Talk to someone you trust, who has achieved what you’re chasing after and will tell you the truth. And then be man enough to hear the hard truths about yourself.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you. Sincerely. You deserve accomplishment and happiness. But you need to earn it.</p>
