My son is a sophomore and dreams to go to Stanford. In a Freshmen year he has got perfect GPA of 4.0 unweighted. In his current year he started AP Calculus BC class and unfortunately had a C in the first semester. He is fighting to get e better grade in the second semester. All other grades are As. Does he still has a chance to get into Stanford or any other top schools with a C in the HS transcript? Is there anything he can do to remediate the damage?

Yes, but please don’t pressure him about getting into Stanford or “any other top schools.” Why is he taking AP Calc BC as a sophomore?
He wanted it. I actually was not sure and suggested AB but he was very excited about the class. He did well on Algebra II as a Freshman and his teacher advised him to do BC
