I got a C in accounting Honors and the rest are B +s...Do i have a chance to get into a decent college....?

A lot of this depends on your extracurricular activities and if you have taken any honors or AP/IB cles. It also depends on your ACT/SAT scores. Some colleges make their admissions decisions based purely on GPA and test scores, but most colleges these days pay a lot of attention to whether the applicant is active in the community or has taken on any leadership roles in student government or student clubs. Actually, colleges have found that often B students do better than A students in college because B students have learned to work for their grades while many A students have learned to just skate by using their knowledge of how to take tests. I would say chances are you will at least be considered, but I would definately recommend that you volunteer in the community and seek out leadership roles to make yourself more attractive to colleges.
