Apparently Unique Circumstances...

I have another problem-- of my 6 IB subjects, I can only retake 5 since one in self-taught and not offered in November. The grade I got in that class is very low… but I anticipate to still do well on my other 5 retakes and will probably still manage a 40/45 IB grade.

Do you think universities will take offence with that one glaringly bad grade, even if it was from before when I was ill?

It’s making me exceptionally anxious-- do universities care more about total IB points than individual grades, especially if they’re just SL? Or do they look at each and every subject?

I just feel the slightest bit overwhelmed.
