Will a bad GPA ruin my chances here?

<p>I got a 3 in calc because I was forced to drop the class in the middle of the year by my parents.</p>

<p>I could take SAT II Chinese, but I haven’t taken the language in a class setting for years, so I’ve forgotten a lot of the reading. And not getting a 780 or so just looks incredibly bad, especially when you indicate you’re a native speaker. I think I’mjust going to take Spanish instead.</p>
