Will This Hurt My Chances at Smeal?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State

<p>Hey everyone I am a sophomore in high school and I am interested in attending Penn State for business. I am doing very well so far this year. However, last year (freshman) I took Honors Chemistry. My guidance counselor put me in it and said I would do fine. I ended up with a C in the class. Will this seriously hurt my chances at Penn State Smeal?</p>

<p><em>I am only a sophomore, so I am NOT asking you to chance me, I just want to know your opinions to see if the C will completely disqualify me from admissions!</em></p>

<p>GPA: ~3.75</p>

<p>Will colleges most likely understand since it is a honors sophomore/junior class?</p>

<p>Hey! I got accepted to Smeal this year, and I’ve gotten two C’s in my high school career- one quarter in Honors Geometry, as well as Honors Physics. A couple Cs wont hurt you enough for you to be rejected to Smeal- believe me! Just continue working hard and trying to keep your GPA as high as you can :)</p>
