i got a really poor grade on my band final. I got a 67 out of 100. I really did not think i performed badly at all and I argued with my teacher but he wouldn’t budge. I’ve got 90 and higher avges the other 4 quarters…so my final average for the class will be a 86-87ish.

Will this look bad when applying to colleges? I am aiming for competitive colleges and I am hoping that this doesn’t lower my chance of getting accepted. My school does not factor in music or art electives when calculating weighted GPA and class rank.

Someone please tell me rank/weighted GPA and rigor of schedule will place precedent over unweighted GPA…thanks

(P.S. my intended major is NOT music; it will be one of the sciences)
