one C's impact on admissionsAnswered
I have had all As pretty much my entire school career. There is the potential I will end up with a C in my current math class, an "advanced class" (above honors, below AP). I am a sophomore and I am wondering if this spells the end for my aspirations to attend a top-tier school.

No, it does not.
Schools look at way more than just your GPA (sports, test scores, extracurriculars, clubs, etc). However, if you are worried about your GPA, you should maintain a rigorous courseload and keep straight A's, and most colleges will easily look past your one C.
If you continue to work as hard as you have, you will end up somewhere amazing!

Not necessarily! Since you're only a sophomore, you have plenty of chances to save yourself. Colleges love to see improvement, so as long as your grades go up from here, you still have a chance :)
