Will it catch up to you if your medicore or average in math, in college?

Firstly let me start off by saying i'm a 3.5 average student. In my whole high school career I gotten by math okay not fully understanding the concepts of math especially algebra 2 and advance math, but manage to always have B- or C+. I'm afraid once I get into college this lack of fundamenal math knowledge will come back to hunt me and cause me trouble. So basically I'm asking will it be okay if I'm average in math. Granted if I study, but courses like college algebra, Statictics, and Phycis, I will probaly lose my 3.5 gpa and be a college dropout. I need insight on this, thanks I will appeciate it.


P.S I know I spelled it wrong typing very fast.

The thing with math is, you have to study it and do your homework religiously. You won't be a college drop out because you have a hard time with math. you'll just have a few tough semesters. Lots of people hate math/can't do math and they get through college. I'm assuming your not a math major, right? You'll be fine. Just don't take a math class in the same semester as other hard classes. And study, study, study!
Reply:it depends on what your major is, mostly. If you're going for an engineering or science major, you may struggle with the rather heavy math at times (although it is manageable.) If you're going for a business major or another type of major, you shouldn't have any problems.
Reply:College reteaches a lot of things that you should have learned towards the end of your highschool career. This includes college algebra.. If you've been average in mathematics for most of your life, you will be perfectly fine. What are you majoring in, anyway? I think my college only required one math class if your major didn't require more. I don't understand why you would have to take Statistics or Physics if you don't like mathematics.
Reply:I got C's in math all through high school and even a couple of D's. Now I'm in law school. Hasn't hindered my education one bit.
