Will my low community college grades hurt me? (Concurrent student here.)

<p>Hello. I'm a junior right now and I took 3 subjects in my local community college last year. </p>

<p>I earned a total of 7 credits and I have a 2.571 GPA. I got 2 B's and 1 C. </p>

<p>Will this disqualify me from being accepted in Ivy League universities? </p>

<p>My other stats:
Score of 5 on 5 APs.
SAT is 2300.
4 SAT subjects in the 700s. </p>

<p>Is that gpa UW and goes on your transcript? If not, what is your UW? I don’t think one C in a difficult class would be an automatic reject, but you have to have something else to stand out, since so many others have those other stats & apply to ivies. Acceptance-wise, no one can say because we don’t know what the admissions committee would be thinking at that moment. But if your GPA is that, I wouldn’t be too hopeful honestly, but it all depends on the cumulative, as well & how senior year pans out.</p>

<p>Having pawed through the data - it’s rare to see anything lower than a 3.6 GPA for Ivys. But you’ve only posted your community college GPA from 3 courses. What’s your overall GPA and what’s your course load looking like for senior year? The UC system I understand views community college courses as being like AP and are accorded 1 additional point. So a B college course is like an A 4.0 for UC GPA grade calculation and your C should be like a B 3.0. Although there is a limit of eight semesters of “bonus points” and your 5 APs would already have you over that limt. Of course other schools may have no such limit. That would be good to know how Ivys view community college courses. My guess would be that they would be viewed favorably - that it shows academic rigor just like AP courses. But I think a lot of them are just interested in the unweighted. Congrats on your great AP scores and SATs. I’m in the similar ballpark.</p>

<p>Yes. If colleges see that you struggled severely with an advanced curriculum, it will hurt your chances of getting in </p>
