Math wise, I did poorly in HS but I'm doing pretty good (Bs in the two courses I've taken so far) in college. Should I be worried? I've taken summer school/after school courses to catch up a bit.
If you mean in terms of getting into college, I would say you're fine.
Otherwise, it really depends on what you plan on majoring in. I mean, I started out in Anthro/Poli Sci BA program and I didn't have to take a single math course, but when I switched into a Comp Sci BS program, Calc II wasn't gonna cut it. For the Arts/Social Science programs, I don't think you need anything higher than Calc II (plus maybe probability and/or statistics?), for Science programs, you of course need more diverse math courses, for example, switching majors added Calc III, Discrete Structures, and Linear Algebra to my program requirements. It may vary by school and program as well, but, I believe, in general, the core requirements are the same across universities. You should probably speak to your school counselor, you're still in high school, yeah?, about this, and when you get to college, speak to an advisor.
