So long as you only have that one C on your transcript and continue to perform well in all of your other classes, you will do just fine in the admissions process. One C on a perfect record is a sign that the class was too difficult - it is only when you have two or more C's on your transcript that you will really be affected negatively. Hope this helps!

Since AP chem is tough I think if you have one C itā€™s okay my teacher used to let us do retakes occasionally and curve some of the tests so I would ask for a retake maybe.

Try and ask your teacher if you could do test correction or have another shot with a retake. Does your teacher do ap curves on test? I like you also took my first test today so i know how its feels. I would say a B will not hurt your chances if any. But as for a C, not so sure but I would say it has somewhat of a impact.
