Should I email Admissions about this stuff?

@madisonskipper Well, I’m still a Junior so it’s not like I didn’t report it and they accepted me anyways. My main concern is that those middle school grades will hurt my application, so I wanted to email them asking if they considered academic classes in middle school to be academically equal to high school courses taken in high school. Basically what I hope they say is “Oh, we just wanted you to report those middle school grades so we could see that you took the course.” I only mentioned the nosy/annoying thing because when I was in middle school and applying for the magnet program at my high school, I sent a similar email to the administrator dealing with admissions and they replied saying that it was none of my business, so I don’t really know if this would cross boundaries as well. After that I’ve been wary of emailing teachers.

Also, it’s because at my school everyone says that UF hates C’s and it is significantly harder to get into if you get one. If this does happen to be true, I really hope they do consider the fact that I was only in middle school. I had this insanely tough Algebra teacher back then and a lot of my friends ended up getting at least 1 C in the class. It wouldn’t make sense for them to reject me over that considering that I’ve shown some improvement in classes like Alg 2, PreCalc, AP Calc (Straight B’s lmao), but you never know.
