I’m an Asian-American girl, I failed algebra my first semester of high school. I’m doing much better now and doing algebra in summer school too. I don’t know how this is going to affect me in the future? I know Ivy Leagues will never accept me, I’m fine with that. But what about other colleges? Should I just go abroad?
If you’re retaking the credit you should be fine. Just keep your grades up from now on. Colleges like to see an upward trend, and some (the UCs for example), don’t even take freshman grades into account. Do your best from now on and you will get into college.
