<p>At the moment, I have a 3.48 GPA. I have 2 c's (both in Honors classes), 3 B's (One being in a 1-semester only class and one in an Honors class), and 2 A's (One being in a 1 semester only class).</p>
<p>Will these 2 C's harshly effect my GPA, Or effect it at all?</p>
<p>Just do the arithmstic n calculate it</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be nice if only A’s effected your GPA?</p>
<p>How wouldn’t it affect your GPA? Every grade does.</p>
<p>I would focus on bringing them up so it doesn’t become an issue.</p>
<p>I’m guessing those C’s were in English. (It’s affect, not effect.) It’s not clear from your post whether the 3.48 is before you got the C’s or after you got them. In any case, a 3.48 is a respectable GPA, especially if it’s unweighted and you took a lot of honors classes.</p>
<p>If your GPA is exactly 2.00 then two Cs will not affect it. If it is currently higher than 2.0 then 2 Cs will drive it down. If it is lower than 2.0 then 2 Cs will raise it.</p>
<p>Massmomm- Well yes one of them is in English, the other in Chemistry.
Also, the 3.48 GPA is before the C’s.</p>
<p>I know it’s the beginning of the year I’m just a bit worried because the quarter ends in about two weeks, and I’m very afraid that my GPA might be brought down even though it’s only 2 c’s.</p>
<p>Manchmal, is there anything you can do to bring up those C’s? Extra credit? Washing lab equipment? Otherwise, your GPA will drop. The good news is that many, if not most, high schools send your grades for the midyear, not the quarter, so if you can bring those C’s up to B’s before the midyear reports get sent to your colleges, you might be okay. Talk to your GC. (I’m assuming you’re a senior.)</p>
<p>If you’re a junior, then you probably don’t need to worry, as the colleges will only see your year-end final grades and you can work your tail off to bring them up long before then.</p>
<p>massmomm- I didn’t know colleges saw only the year-end final grades. Thanks though, that calms my mind.</p>

<p>Actually, I don’t believe this is universally true. Not all school transcripts are alike. Most of the schools where I have taught sent semester grades and final course grades. (I think one of them even sent exam grades on the transcript, but I might be making that up.) The school my own kids attended sent only final course grades. It would be unusual for your school to include quarter grades on the transcripts, but there’s no rule that says they can’t. But make no mistake, whatever they send is exactly what colleges will see.</p>
<p>If you want to know what a transcript from your high school looks, ask your guidance counselor, principal, or some other administrator.</p>
