<p>So the title pretty much sums it up. I got a C first semester of AP Euro, but second semester I got an A, also a 5 on the AP Test! I want to apply to Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, and the Ivy's.., </p>
<p>I doubt it would have a significant impact.</p>
<p>I got a C in junior year in AP calc and I was fine in getting into Stanford.</p>
<p>depends on what your major is, and what the rest of your transcript looks like. if you’re majoring in say, european history, that might be a problem. but if you’re majoring in math or science it probably shouldn’t </p>
I don’t think it would ruin your chances, per se, but other parts of our application (essays, recs, EC’s) would have to be strong enough to make up for it.
What’s your major?
