Hi, I am a highschool senior who has never gotten a D before but I went into the ap calc an exam with a low c and the final dropped me to a D. I studied hard for this class but still got ads on tests and a D on the final. I am wondering how bad would dropping this course for honors calc second semester look to colleges. I am applying to schools like Boston university, Miami of Ohio, UW Madison, Indiana University. I would like to stay in the course because I would like to work harder at the subject but I don’t know if it is worth risking another D. How much will my first semester grade effect my chances at getting into schools. Also how much will me dropping to honors and most likely getting an A in honors (it is known as being a lot easier) effect my chances? Should I email schools and explain my grade?
