Should I email Admissions about this stuff?

@sushipanda Something that I should’ve mentioned first: I got a C in my first semester of Algebra 1 in middle school too! I was in the pre-IB program and it was a requirement but I did report it on my SSAR and I was still accepted for Fall 2017. I was worried about my C for a while too but my grades showed an upward trend overall. It was my only C but I did have about 6 B’s total from 8th - 10th grade, after that it was all A’s. I think what worked for me was that my junior year I worked my living butt off. I did AP stats, AP physics, AP langauge, DE calculus, DE chemistry, and DE comm 2 all in one semester and managed A’s on top of waitressing. Imo, junior year matters the most. On another note, my senior year is pretty easy and I reported all that too. I think a C isn’t going to hurt you as long as you have a competitive weighted UF GPA , so you should still report it.

However, after that C in Algebra 1, I got A’s in all the rest of my math courses from that moment forward. There is a section on the SSAR that specifies you were in middle school when you took the class, so they will definitely consider that.
