[quote=Anonymous]No, it makes it harder, but it doesn’t make it impossible. I don’t know if it’s still the case, but Stanford did not count ninth grade grades in making admissions decisions. Neither did the University of Michigan. They just felt these were too far in the past to be relevant to how a student would do in college.So, it makes a difference that the C was freshman year.Colleges tend to be a bit more forgiving of lower grades in one subject if you are outstanding in another. For example I know a couple of math geniuses who really struggled with foreign language but still got into top schools.Again, I don’t know if it’s still the case but MIT used to require fewer foreign language credits in high school than most colleges do.
