NOT applying for engineering, just to get that out of the way (most likely psych.)

I got an invite to honors today, and obviously that’s a strong correlation of being accepted to the school. But with my course load this semester I got a “C” in AB calculus. The rest are B’s or higher (AP Lit- B, AP Spanish- B, AP Govt- A, Geosystems- A, Drama- A, Tech Theater- A), but are these grades going to prevent me from getting into VIRGINIA TECH the school (NOT the honors.)
I just want to know if I shouldn’t get my hopes up since they haven’t seen the C yet… Has anyone you know ever gotten an invite to honors but been rejected from the school entirely because of a 1st semester C?
