<p>you’ll get in but you might struggle the first year. Not being negative, but Calc 2 is a weedout course that you’ll take first semester. i know kids with similar academic stats to yours and half struggled and half did fine. Just keep your chin up and do the homework, find friends to study with and you should be fine.</p>
