<p>I am currently a sophomore in high school and received these grades on my first semester report card:</p>
<p>Physics: C
Yearbook: A
Honors Humanities: A
Honors Geometry: B
Spanish 5: A
AP European Civ: B+</p>
<p>I really want to go to either NYU, USC, or a UC school. Have I ruined my chances with these grades? Last year I got a 4.0, and next year and senior year I will be taking the toughest course loads possible again. I am also in various sports, clubs, etc. Anyway, I just want to know if three grades will screw me up.</p>
