I submitted my application today, but I’m really nervous…

Here are my stats:

GPA: 3.4 UW, 3.8 W
SAT: 1540
URM - black/African
OK grades until junior year:

C+: English
C+: History
C: Physics
D+: BC Calculus

I know, it’s dismal. However, I did have 4 semesters of CS that year and got As in all of them, does that count for anything? I also had extenuating circumstances that affected me pretty badly. My essay is pretty good, about an 8/10. My teacher & counselor recs are also decent and I go to a very competitive high school. My extracurriculars and background are also good.

Thanks in advance!
