Oh man, what does a C do...?

<p>I'm probably going to get a C in my AP Chemistry class. This has been a really tough semester for me--my dad has had medical issues recently and he doesn't really speak much English, so I have to help him a lot. On top of that, extracurricular commitments along with a really rigorous course load have left me really overextended. As far as my transcript goes, I've only ever gotten a few Bs. </p>

<p>I'm wondering how this will affect my chances at top universities (Harvard and Yale). If you want to take a quick look at my stats, go to <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/493494-curious-2009er-chance-me.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/493494-curious-2009er-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Please give me your opinion! I'm kinda stressing out about this because I'd hate for a tough semester to exclude me from something I've been working for forever.</p>

<p>you will be more than fine if you explain your situation</p>

<p>on top of that you're a URM from an underrepresented area with really great ECs/grades so far.</p>
