2 C+'s in math during soph and junior year, but consistently high grades in humanities courses… will colleges forgive these blemishes on my transcript? :\

Thanks guys! I’m so excited to hear back 12/15 for smith!

Your chances for Smith are good. Did you explain those C+'s in your transcript? They will definitely worry admissions officers.

I didn’t explain because I don’t like blaming my grades on anyone other than myself. Too late to change anything; I already submit my app. I am fully responsible for every grade on my transcript, and I have no excuses.

I think you have a strong app! Your ec’s are great and shows that you are dedicated and have genuine interest in what you are doing, rather than using it for college admin. Good Luck!

you have an awesome chance, don’t worry yourself over two C’s, colleges know you are human, you’ll definitely get in
