Honors Gpa dropper

I had a C first semester in Chemistry Honors. With all my other grades being a 98, 85, and 88. Do you think that will ruin my chances of getting into a good college?

It all depends, remember this is only a first semester grade you still have a chance to improve it before the end of the year. If you are unable to do this due to course difficulty or how your school calculates end of year averages remember grades are not the sole deciding factor in admission just make sure you have other qualities that can stand out to colleges, such as extracurricular activities. So no your chances are not ruined.
