Will this ruin my college chances?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I scored C's all through Algebra 1 in 8th grade. Will this affect me in the long run for college?</p>

2

<p>For one class? Really?</p>

3

<p>Colleges don’t request your middle school transcripts.</p>

4

<p>Colleges could care less about middle school.</p>

5

<p>No one see’s your 8th grade grades. It won’t affect your high school GPA.</p>

6

<p>Algebra 1 is a high school class though, so it will show. Like how I took Spanish 1 in 8th grade. High school class, so it still effects my GPA today.</p>

7

<p>Not necessarily true - for instance, at my school, Spanish/French I and Algebra I are both middle school courses and do not appear on transcripts or affect GPA.</p>

8

<p>Is this a serious question?</p>

<p>Middle school classes can affect high school GPA if it’s taken for high school credit. I don’t really think one C would do much, though. You’d still have a 3.9 if you got A’s in everything else.
The problem is, Algebra I is relevant to physics, chem, and other math classes. If you get C’s in those classes because you have trouble with Algebra I it will hurt you.</p>

<p>I am sorry to break it to you but</p>

<p>You got a C in 8th GRADE!!! OMG!!! NO Community College for You! YOur Grades STINK!!! YOUR ACADEMICS ARE WORTHLESS!</p>

<p>jk.</p>

<p>Look, they, the colleges, really dont give a rat’s a-- about middle school grades. Okay.
DONT Worry. </p>

<p>Also please assure me that you arenot in the 8th grade right now and on CC.</p>

<p>Please tell me</p>

11

<p>I’m not still in 8th grade! lol</p>

12

<p>Any High School Classes taken in Middle School, do appear on the College Transcript, as they are taught upon a High School Based Curriculum.</p>

<p>Two C’s, in Algebra I, will definetly not hurt you. Colleges will see that you completed Alg. 1 through GEM in Middle School. Your Fine.</p>

13

<p>It’ll hurt your high school GPA a little, so I’ll recommend attempting to maintain a A/B average in the rest of your classes throughout high school. Or you can retake Algebra online during the summer or something to make up the grade? If your school offers.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>It will have minimum effect. It was in 8th grade, so colleges might not even see it, even if it was a HS class. Also, it was just one C so if everything else is fine there is no reason to worry!</p>
