So my first semester of junior year just ended and I got my first C ever in Calc BC. How badly will this screw me? I don’t really have any great excuse for this like family issues or anything but our school is known for having a difficult math program, most people get 5s and pretty much everybody gets at least a 4 on the AP exam. I was hoping to get into UC Berkeley or UCLA (for biology not engineering) but any midtier UCs like UCSD, UCD, etc would be nice too. I got a 1480/1600 on my first SAT but I’m planning on retaking it. I have pretty good extracurriculars, lots of clubs, officer positions, volunteering, a job, etc. Here’s the rest of my grades so far for more context
