I have always considered myself a smart person and a good student. My grades are mostly A’s with one or two B’s here and there. I am a junior this year taking Honors Chem, notoriously known as the hardest class in my entire school. I finished this semester with a C (78%). I have taken regular physics (A’s both semesters) and regular biology (A’s both semesters) freshman and sophomore year. This has been the first class I have truly struggled in.
This semester I am also taking AP Lang (A), APUSH (A), APEURO (B), Integrated 3 math (A), and Business 100 (as part of duel enrollment- A). This would be my only C in all of my academic career.
How badly does this affect my chances at applying to colleges like USC, UCLA, UCSD, USD, SDSU, UCSB, UC Davis, and UC Berkeley.
I have not taken my SAT yet, but I do participate in mock trial, volunteering, and I have multiple recommendations from my teachers.
I plan on going into law or politics, I have no interest in going into the field of science.
dont worry about it too much, your grades seem great for the most part, one blip won’t change too much. keep at it, and good luck
