One C is not going to ruin your chances at top 50 schools especially if you are not looking at a math/science major. Your GPA will still be competititve for most of the schools outside of the ivies.

Schools understand the stress students are under and you can explain your circumstances in your additional essay. Also, most schools will look at you holistically so you can still do well on your SAT and AP tests and you will be competitive.

You could also take the SAT Subject Test in Chemistry just to demonstrate you have the knowledge needed in this area.

If you are not a current senior, you will have time to raise your GPA before college application time.
