<p>lets say if i had a d+ for ap macroeconomics in my junior year for one semester (cuz i had a jerk teacher and some other factors came into play), but my other grades are solid… how dramatically does that affect my chances to BU or other schools similar to BU. should i explain it in my application?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I would definitely write a letter explaining the situation. It shows them that you care and are trying.</p>
<p>I would be careful about a letter. Make sure you don’t sound like you are just complaining about your “jerk teacher”.</p>
<p>Colleges only see your final grade in the class not each term</p>
<p>I honestly wouldn’t worry about it. I had two or three Ds in high school and I got into the BU Honors program and got a scholarship.</p>
<p>seriously maschinez?! im jealous, i had straight a’s and a perfect resume and all i got was the dean’s scholarship.</p>
