i’m the average honors kid with A’s and B’s. This senior year i really messed up. This is what i predict my 1st semester grades to be:
AP Lit- B
AP Physics- C (possible B)
AP Gov- C
AP Calc- D
Peer Counseling- A
Art History- A

i’ve never had a C on my transcript let alone a D. i’m ELC eligible but now i fear i just lost my guaranteed admission to UCI, UCD, UCR, and UCSB.

now what? can i drop AP Calc without colleges knowing and become a TA? is there any way i can explain myself? i’m really stressed out my hard work won’t pay off.
