<p>Hi, I had a question. I'm a sophomore in high school.</p>
<p>I messed up my first semester of sophomore year by getting 2 C's (In 2 AP's). I suffered from self-harm and anorexia due to family problems during the summer before sophomore year and the first half of it, causing my grades to drop. I went through therapy and am currently recovering. My grades will probably be all A's and 1 B this semester. How bad is this in terms of college admissions?</p>
<p>What kind of schools are you looking at/thinking about?</p>
<p>Like Etuck24 said, it depends on the college. For Ivies and the quasi Ivies, Cs might kill your chances (but who knows). For other schools, even those a tier down, a couple of Cs aren’t a huge deal. You should know that many students, even those at highly selective schools didn’t have a perfect high school transcript. Obviously good grades are great, but the reality is, people slip up and may not perform at the standard they were used to. </p>
<p>Just make sure to continue to get excellent grades so those two Cs are just an anomaly on your transcript.</p>
