Of course you have a chance, don't stress too much. Planning your life around 'what colleges will like' will likely make you less apt to seem sincere in your applications, etc.

Just live your life the way you want to live it, and get as involved in things in and out of school as possible. Crazy as it sounds, the admission people at colleges can usually tell if you've really been INVOLVED in things, rather than just writing them down, listing every possible activity you can get away with saying that you did.

But anyhow, sorry about that tangent - (no geometry-pun intended) - but I'm not exactly sure on the requirements for veterinary school, or courses. But I do know that just because you made a few mistakes in your first couple years of high school, that doesn't mean much. My brother got into the number one liberal-arts college in the world, and he got a couple of C's and D's throughout high school.

As long as you set goals for yourself and don't put off schoolwork TOO much, you should be all set. But, remember that the most important thing is to be well-rounded -- this means getting involved in the things your passionate about, as well as keeping a focus on schoolwork and such.

Hope this helped a bit! =)

My dear friend,
Step back, take a deep breath. You have plenty of time. Stay after for help since you're struggling with geometry and work hard in your other classes. Remember when you're studying that you're doing this for college.
And what if you don't get into a 4-year university? Go to a 2-year community college and bring up your GPA. Lots of people do it.
Don't stress: you still have a chance.
