<p>Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums.
I'm the oldest one in my family and the first to go through the college admission process in these times. So, I have been getting great grades pretty much my entire time in high school in difficult classes, but this last semester I got a C in math. I want to know if I have any chance now of competitive schools like Northwestern, UCLA, UC Berkley, UC San Diego, USC, UT-Austin, University of Washington (the state, not the Missouri one), Boston College, Cornell, or the likes.</p>
<p>So about me:

<p>Head volunteer of telemetry department at the hospital- Over 200 hours here
Overall, I have over 350 community service hours from events</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help, this C is really stressing me out. By the way, I have the potential to raise it to a B- by a grade change, depending on my STAR (CA state test) score. If it is good enough I get a 2.5% grade boost. let me know if that helps me much.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
