I needed an 85 on the final exam to keep my B average. I struggled in this class but prepared well for the final, but I honestly am not sure if I did well enough to make an 85. It'll depend on how the teacher grades it (half credit, etc.)...

Anyways should I be worried? Will this look bad on my application?
I have either A or B in all my other classes. It isn't a required pre-pharm class but cal I is therefore I guess its a pre req to the pre req. Should I retake if I get a C, like after cal I?
 
Calm down. It's probably nothing to worry about. If you don't have a record of getting C's (and it sounds like you don't) then there shouldn't be a problem with it, especially considering it's not even a prereq. Just keep chugging on your other classes.

To put it in other terms: I had 3 or 4 C's, an F(!!!) and more W's than I can count, and I managed to get in. You're fine. 🙂

Is trig a prereq.? The only math prereqs I know of is cal I and stat and maybe precal. If it's not a prereq for pharmacy then they won't care. Just make sure you do well in Cal I because that class really matters and it's going to be harder too. Get help early for that class and stay on top of your homework.
 
Yeah trig itself isn't going to be scrutinized much especially if you have good grades in precal (if a 2-class set) or in calc 1 and possibly calc 2. The only drawback is lowering the science and math GPA but you will still have time to pick that up.
 
Lawlz. A C in trig is no biggie so don't freak! If you have a solid record of A's and B's, a C here and there is not going to preclude you from getting interviews. Trust me. Cheer up. It's all good.
 
do well in calc1, you'll be good.
