Really really awful grade in VHS?

Applying to College
1

This semester, I think I have a D in my Virtual High School course, which is a political science class. Virtual High School offers classes through the internet, but it’s really easy to slack off (as i’ve noted.)

I’m a sophomore, and the rest of my grades are decent, with mostly A’s and a few B+'s… how could this affect my chances to be competitive at top LACs and Ivies? It’s the last day of the semester today, and I’ve done everything that I can to redeem myself, but I think I’m going to end up with a 60 semester average at best.

Ahhhhhh help!

<p>Gee, no one knows. Clearly it is not a plus to get a D. You figure it.</p>

<p>I have never seen a more assinine question on CC.</p>

3

<p>I’ve never met a more rude and belligerent person on CC. Clearly a great minority of students have taken a virtual course, and this would add to its already available prestige.</p>

<p>Is there any constructive advice?</p>

4

<p>It’s a D kid…What do you expect it to mean?</p>

5

<p>do elective classes really get taken into consideration?</p>

6

<p>its asinine…ok…ok sorry but I’m a spelling freak…lol</p>

<p>hey I got a D in honors algebra II and a C in Honors Chem in 10th grade. I not going to let that bother me in applying to UNC, GA tech, and emory. Shoot high and then worry about it later. Just make sure you have a safety like you would even if you didn’t have a D. There is no point in wondering if you get in when you have not applied yet. Just don’t make that same mistake again.</p>

<p>The fact that it was an elective class means more then likely its going to get kicked out of your transcipt when colleges look at it.</p>
