How bad would this affect college apps?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm a junior in high school, and I might get a C in math this year...I'm taking AP Calc AB, and this is my teacher's first year teaching the subject and she sucks at it. How badly will this affect my college apps? (I'm aiming like NYU, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, BU...)</p>

<p>BTW...my classes are:</p>

<p>AP CALC AB
AP ART HISTORY
AP BIOLOGY
AP LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION
AP U.S. History
Yearbook Journalism/ Newspaper
Golf Team</p>

<p>Also I'm invovled with Model United Nations, Speech and Debate, volunteering at the local hospital...(There is more...but I don;'t want to list stuff out; it'll take too long)</p>

<p>and I've gotten 5 s on both my AP chinese and Ap Euro tests.</p>

<p>However...I don't plan on takling the AP test for AP Calc Ab (Cause if I'm already doing so badly already...)</p>

<p>I should get As on all of my other subjects.</p>

<p>My point is, I'm doing a lot this year. With my ECs, awards, and courseload, do you think colleges will overlook my C, even though it's in junior year?</p>

<p>(I also plan to be more of a liberal arts major...or at least soemthing where calculus won't be necessary.)</p>

<p>You should be okay as long as you excel in your other courses.</p>

<p>Depends on your school. We can't generalize the implications of a C. And if it was the teacher's fault then talk to your guidance counselor about whether it's a legitimate concern or not, but don't go around blaming your teacher's incompetence.</p>
