My high school official transcript has the cc courses with just the grade but it’s not counted for my GPA. I found it odd that the cc course would even be on there, but it’s there. I sent nothing from the actual community college which makes me wonder how much Stanford actually cares.

Again, I have gotten no warning email from Stanford or anything of the like and my grade was a C in Calculus at the midyear. In fact, I’ve gotten a plethora of email from Stanford in one big pile and even a scribbled note on one letter about how much they liked my essay. My worst case scenario with that class is that I screw up and end up getting a D because I have been struggling but it is my only noticeable fault on my second semester

Here’s my grades from first semester:
Calculus (cc course): C
AP English Lit: B
Political Science (cc course): C
AP Physics B: B
Film Arts: A
Athletics: A
Weighted GPA of 4.0

So far, for my second semester:
Calculus (cc course): C? D? I’ve emailed my professor to confirm my grade.
AP English Lit: B, I’m confident in keeping it there and maybe even getting an A
Political Science (cc course): B, working on a A.
AP Physics B: B
Film Arts: A
Athletics: A

I know there are probably people out there with worse situations than me, but still, I’d like to have a little more peace of mind.
