<p>Hey this is my first post, im a Junior this year and i was wondering how damaging it is to have a C for a semester grade in this class? are colleges going to be looking at my C or if i do well on the AP exam will that be okay? This is the only C i have on my record. I havent taken my SATs yet but I want to try to get into a school like American University… am i reaching way to high? I have a 3.5 GPA right now, which I’m working really hard to pull up. and ive done ECs and etc. if people could reply honestly that will be great</p>
<p>you will be just fine, relax! One C is not going to make a difference.</p>
<p>The transcripts that our high school issues only shows year-end grades, not semester (unless, of course, they're mid-year transcripts sent during the senior year). Check with your guidance office to see what yours will look like. In any event, I'm sure you'll be fine.</p>
<p>....i've gotten Cs on my report card (it was frosh year...but still)... i'm at AU... you'll be fine..</p>
<p>(btw.. my gpa was a 3.3 and... look... i'm at AU :-D )</p>
<p>Thanks very much for the replies!</p>
