You can definitely get in if you balance yourself out. A C shouldn’t matter much since UCSD uses a point system. This years cutoff was 7426. As long as you passed that many points, you are in. Here is the description of the point system http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html . When it comes to impacted (espectially in the engineering field), the cutoff is raised higher. I believe it goes up to about 7800 points to get in? If you don’t make the high cutoff, you will be put into your alternate major, assuming that it is not impacted.

I would definitely get some points in awards, leadership, and community service if I were you. Good luck!
