On the Final School Report it says write a note for a C!

I thought that it was only a big deal if you had a D or F
I hate to sound like those kids with like... 2 B's and they are trippin
but at this point I have a solid 75 in AP stats... and a B+ that could go either way (A or B) in Calc BC
The rest will be A's

But seriously
they want an explanation for a C
I am a 2nd semester senior and have a 5 AP classes and work 20 hours a week
what can they expect

I'm just more like... perterbed than anything right now

I think you'll be fine. 20 hrs a week and AP classes should be enough explanation - you need to make $$ for college so you have to work, and figured studying for AP exams is more important (at this point) than making perfect scores on hw/class tests so you're spending much less time on hw and much more on AP studying.
