Im worried I may not be able to go to a uni even after all my hard work
So I am a generally good student, well I used to be, but now it seems like its going badly and I dont know what to do. It is almost the end of the semester and I have a C in honors precalculus.. and on the grade calculator on my grade checking website I need to get 3 perfect test scores to just reach a B-, and after my last few test scores I am seeing a alarming trend that I may finish the year with a C, I checked the standards for the universities I want to go to for my major (Computer Science) (and the unis are UC/CSU) and as Computer Science is a competitive major, im worried that I will not be accepted into one of these schools because of my C and I am not sure what to do, computer science/coding has been my lfielong interest and I dont feel good about having to abandon it. Im not sure what to do im really torn.
P.S. im a sophmore in high school

Have you talk to your teacher? Usually when you do bad for one test or see a dip in your grade, it is good to talk to the teacher early or get help to understand your subject.
If you can't get into a UC or CSU, you can try the community college route and transfer. Community College is also cheaper if you are paying out of pocket or taking out loans. The first two years of college is usually general class requirements for all students which you can also do at a community college and have those credits transfer with you.
If you are worry, go see your school counselor and review your classes. He/She will have more resources and/or information to help guide and help you plan.
@pano OMG me too! I'm gonna start focusing on Digital Arts and Design/Graphic design. It's my last hope and if it doesn't work out next year, I'm dropping out once I turn 18
