<p>I got a C+ in AP calculus BC in the first semester of the senior year. This is very bad, I know. I took five AP courses and simply did not have time to practice the calculus. I had planned to apply to some ivies, Chicago, WUSTL, Duke, etc. but now what is my chance? I have SAT/2260 (1550 for Chicago), ACT/35, UW GPA/3.85 and W GPA/4.25, ordinary ECs, a few awards.</p>
<p>Thank you Recursive, I feel better now. 
I am applying to a science major (biology or chemistry) with focus on pre-med. My SATII is biology/790, chemistry/800, mathII/750. Actually I am very good at math as I have won several math contests. But for this particular calculus BC course, the teacher was very strict and required us to invest tremendous amount of time to practice in order to perform well in the timed final test. Unfortunately I cannot afford the time partly because I have many AP courses, and partly because I have family issues. Now this C+ grade will appear on the mid-year report and I do not know what damage it will cause.</p>
