Worth retaking C in an AP class?
Hey everyone. I'm a rising senior heading into the college apps process and aspiring to major in aerospace engineering. I have a 3.37 UW and 3.64 W, which I realize is on the lower end of the spectrum, especially when considering schools like Purdue, UCSD, Georgia Tech, UIUC, etc. I do, however, have a 99th percentile SAT score and relatively strong ECs such as multiple STEM-related summer programs, research experience, and leadership in aerospace and robotics clubs. I was wondering if it would be worth retaking Calculus AB, which I took in my sophomore year and got a C in both trimesters. I am unsure as to how this would factor into my GPA and whether or not colleges would consider the new grade I would receive. Thank you all for reading and helping me out with this.

If you feel up to it, and your school offers it, taking Calculus BC and reporting a first-semester A for RD admissions would probably be more impactful than retaking this course.
