To be honest I am applying for a state school with an 80% acceptance so I am not too concerned about getting in I am mainly concerned about scholarships.

So I have taken 12 credits of college courses since 10th grade, I am graduating high school with extra credits and an associate of science, which transfers to a state school (why I’m going to a state school among other reasons).

Freshmen year I got straight As. After this year (if my grades stay the same and I think they will) I will have mostly As, 6Bs, 2Cs, 1 retake.

See last year I took this math literacy course thinking it’d be basic math and terminology and for some reason it was unnecessary hard, it’s a 100 level course that like half the class failed. I got an F and I was like devastated. I retook it over the summer while doing ECs and working 40-50 hours a week to pay for it. Even when I retook it I got a C. Then in the fall I took pre calc and got a C as well.
I had some health stuff too that we had to drive far to treat and I was in hospitals (it’s idiopathic so idk how to describe it), but Mainly I am just bad at math. I’ve aced chemistry biology and other science courses but math is different for me, I think I’ve got it. Anyways I didn’t take any math winter/spring term.

I am considering retaking pre calculus fall term and doing trig winter term. That would be all my pre calculus credits done senior year so in college I’d still have to do probably a year of calc still. I am almost convinced I could get a high B if not an A.

Is my math with the retakes and Cs and the F going to ruin my application? I have a 3.7 Unweighted and 4.2 weighted before retaking it and before my grades from this term come in, idk about test scores yet but I have good ECs and I’m a good writer.

Thanks for reading this far if you did it was kinda long.

Okay I have this big fear that someone’s gonna be unconscious and I’m gonna not be able to locate a pulse accurately and take forever or do CPR on a live person. I can find mine but like I haven’t practiced on other people a lot. And it’s kinda like how do I practice taking a pulse on people any tips to get better at that?

What classes do I take senior year? I am taking fall and winter to finish college general bio, and then spring for phlebotomy certification. I could try to stack general chem but I might need to take an evening lab or labs might conflict. My other option is finish pre calc (111/112) and maybe do calculus (241/242) I did 111 but I got a C and I was thinking about retaking it for a better grade, then doing 112, then do I do 241 and do 242 in university or do 112, 241, 242, or do 111, 112 and take spring off?
