<p>Most schools ask for a mid-year report of your senior year grades (as well as a final transcript, if you plan on attending).</p>

<p>Them asking is no indication of your chances. However, poor performance can damage your chances. That C in Calc won’t look great but you should be fine. Merely part of the application process. Nothing to worry about, good luck.</p>

<p>alright thanks for the response. also do i need to put “+” or “-” in my grades? ex. B+ or A-
or is it just a straight up letter? thanks for the help</p>

<p>Yes, put the +s and -s. State your grades exactly as they appear on your report card :]</p>

<p>Hey bostonbryan!</p>

<p>I got into USC not too long ago, and I think your grades are actually pretty good (:
Unfortunately, business is one of the most competitive majors at USC…

<p>Maybe I’ll see you in the fall @ USC! (:</p>
