How bad does a C hurt me?

Answered

Hey I’m a current junior who got a C in Honors Geo first semester sophomore year. The next semester I improved it to a B but I know a lot of colleges see a C as a red flag. My dream school is ND and I’m worried this will be a dealbreaker. Some context about me:

GPA UW: 3.65, Weighted GPA: 4.3

(Will likely be a 4.5 weighted and 3.91 UW after senior year) (At start of senior year likely 4.377 W and 3.71 UW)

Total of 10 B’s and 1 C.

B’s in Honors bio (both sems), Honor English 1(both sems), Geo (2nd sem), French 2 (first sem), AP Econ (both sems), Honors chem (1st sem), AP Physics 1 (first sem)

By the time I’ll be applying I’ll have taken 10 APs and 10 Honors:

AP Micro AP Macro, AP US History, AP Gov, AP Physics 1, AP Stats, AP Calc AB, AP Lit, AP Euro, AP French (AP’s in all 5 categories which i know colleges like)

Honors English 1, 2, and 3

Honors Algebra 2, Honors Geo, Honors Precalc

Honors Bio, Chem

Honors French 3

Honors Western Civ

Extracurriculars:

1. Model UN: (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior)

2. Student Council: (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior)

3. Investment Club: (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) -Hoping to be leader senior year

4. French Club: (Sophomore, Junior, Senior)

5. Student Ambassador (Sophomore, Junior, Senior) - I take shadows and show them around the school and try to get them to come here

6. Tutor (Sophomore, Junior, Senior) - I tutor classmates in subject I excel in

7. Write Place (Junior, Senior) - I tutor classmates on their essays

8. Shield (Junior, Senior) - Help freshman integrate into school (orientation + meeting with them throughout the year

9. Hockey: Jv (freshman), jv captain (sophomore), Jv captain (junior)

10. Lacrosse: Jv (freshman), Jv captain and double rostered (soph) - Likely will make varsity this year and potentially be a captain senior year

I’ve attend Notre Dame Vision, I’m applying to Notre Dame Leadership Seminars (prestigious) and Notre Dame Summer Scholars (prestigious but not as much)

I also have 3 family members within my immediate family who have attended the University of Notre Dame.

I’m a pretty good essay writer as well and as for ACT I’m aiming to get a 33 or higher and I’m taking it soon. (Plus a lot of my schools super-score including ND)

Just to reiterate, I want to know how negatively the C as well as my 10 B’s hurt my chances of getting into ND or other schools like BC, BU, and Northeastern. Please let me know. Thanks!
