<p>If it makes you feel any better, I got into JHU(c/o 2016) even though I had 2 Cs(a math and science <em>GASP</em>) on my first semester report card. However, my situation is a bit biased because I had an on-campus interview in the admissions office and got to explain my struggle in AP Calc and how I resolved it. I’m in the top 10 out of a class of 350+ kids if that matter.</p>
