ALMOST made it (?only to fail?)

So will a high “C” on my AP Econ midterm keep me out of Harvard?

My other midterms:
AP Bio: A+
AP Stats: A+
AP Latin: B-
AP Spanish: B-
AP US Gov: A+
AP Lit: A-

My school grades on a tougher grading scale (91% is a B), and I had to take 5 AP midterms in one day because I missed a day of school for a Princeton audition. Did I work this hard for my dream school only to fail? I feel that these grades are NOT reflective of me at all, and will obviously never happen again (taking 5 college midterms in a span of 7 hours is rather draining). Is there anything I should do? Explain myself, or will that just draw negative attention?

On a more positive note: Does anyone know if it is ok to just submit an additional sheet of activities done since applications were sent in? This could at least help me, I just want to send everything in the right format.
