Will failing my AP Econ class get me rejected everywhere? >__>

Applying to College
1

<p>Only got one C in my life, which was Honors Physics. I'm a journalism/english major anyway, and looking at my transcript it's clear I'm a humanities/arts kinda guy. So that was no big deal, I figured I'd survive. </p>

<p>Now as a senior I have A's and a couple of B's, A's in AP English, business law, journalism, religion. A little over 85 in college algebra and media.</p>

<p>So not too shabby at all! That is until we factor in my economics grade...</p>

<p>57 >___></p>

<p>My ACT's are solid, my extracurriculars are amazing. </p>

<p>But will that 57 just ruin everything? No dropping the class isn't an option. And I did the math... the ONLY way I can pass the semester is to get an 83 on the midterm. That would give me a 65 for the semester. Still a D, but it's passing.</p>

<p>Now my problem is that I'm extremely paranoid. Will that 55 completely negate everything I've done? Schools I'm applying to include Northeastern, Boston U, Syracuse, Marist, Trinity, Cornell (HEOP), and a few other places. So not like I'm trying to get into community colleges. </p>

<p>Of course if I fail it doesn't help... but is that something that's a complete dealbreaker? If I do fail, how do I even begin to explain ._____.</p>

<p>If you fail, the game’s over. I am sorry that it has come to this point for you.</p>

<p>I’d study as much as possible so that I could get a 83 on the midterm. I had this same situation happen to me junior year in precalc. I had a F going into the final and needed a C or something to get a D in the class. I went to my teacher everyday after school for help. Better late than never.</p>
