Hey everyone! It's my first time setting foot on this board, pleasure to meet you all.
So, as many before me have worried about, I'm wondering what implications my senior grades will have on my being appointed to USMA. So far, I've managed pretty well, my profile is looking fine, and I managed to secure a principal nomination, should I manage to get my application finished.
Yes. I'm about a thousand steps behind the majority of people here. Really, I just need to send in my 7th high school semester of grades, and finish up my eye exam, which should go swimmingly.
... But my primary concern stands in this past semester's grades. I took every AP class I could to see just what sort of workload I could handle (Ended up with physics/chem/calc/english lit/euro), and needless to say, it was a shock, and things didn't work out totally ideally as everything started. I'm fine now (solid b's in most everything), but I ended up hardly scraping by with a C- in Calc, and I somehow messed up my Chem to end with a C.
Not horrifically awful, I suppose, depending on what standard is adhered to, but I'm kind of afraid that those two C's won't look good. I'm used to the classes now, and I'm having my Chem and Calc teachers (who, perhaps surprisingly, I'm in good standing with) write my acadmic review recommendations, but I figured I should see what the consensus of this board may be.
Thanks in advance for any help!
