Do I even have a chance of getting in?

So, I’ve just started my second year of college and have made a pretty significant dent in my IGETC (I plan to transfer from a California Community College). My grades- quite frankly- sucked in high school (my life completely fell apart; unfortunately, since it was high school, I couldn’t withdraw and retake my junior year… oh well), but college has been entirely different. I’ve ended up on the dean’s list with a solid 4.0 every semester so far, and I really welcome the challenges of planning ahead for projects and doing work that truly challenges my brain.

The only thing I’m not so great at- which I will be starting on next semester- is math. I’m gearing up by looking into tutoring services, buying “for dummies” books about college math, and just generally trying not to lose my mind over it. I think, with enough focus, I can pass with a C, but I can’t promise anything higher.

Now, I’m wondering how important math will be when looking at my application. I mean, I’ve got three semesters of college- level courses and a kickass gpa to show for all three. But if I end up getting a C in math, would I still be able to get in?

By the way, I am trying to do a double- major in Theatre Arts and Film and Television (I have a huge passion for both acting and television, and I figure they will compliment each other nicely).

Any advice/ tips would be appreciated! Thank you!
