So freshman year was like hell. I failed sem 1 of algebra with a 58.7 percent. I did alot better sem2 and ended up getting a B so my algebra teacher let me retake sem1 exam to get my half credit back. I passed it and i got my half credit back. Now my counselor and math teacher told me. That out of the 600 freshman at our building 300 failed a semester of either Algebra or Geometry. And it was a 300 and some odd number. Would this really affect me getting into a college? I have a clean record never even had detention. And that was the first class i ever failed in my life. (didnt really fail though since i made it up) And would a college look to see how many kids failed math freshman year since it was half of all the freshman?

Colleges look at cumulative GPA, trends in GPA, ACT/SAT scores, extracurriculars, volunteer work, and a personal statement, to name the basics.
If you don't get into a certain college, it won't be because of that one class.

Colleges really only pay attention to your cumulative GPA and SAT or ACT scores
