I'm currently an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science, and I have one year left until I graduate. I'm planning to apply for Master's in Financial Engineering (MFE) programs in the US.
However, I received a C grade in Calculus 1A, and I'm concerned this might negatively impact my application, especially since strong quantitative skills are critical for MFE programs. I have done calculus 1B well.
What are the different ways I can remediate this course to avoid this blotch on my transcript?
What would be the best way to remediate this grade and demonstrate stronger math competency to admissions committees? Some options I'm considering are:
Any advice on how admissions committees typically view grade remediation or alternative coursework would be greatly appreciated.

What would be the best way to remediate this grade and demonstrate stronger math competency to admissions committees? Some options I'm considering are:
- Taking an equivalent or more advanced course and scoring well
- Taking a calculus course through an online platform like Coursera or Harvard Extension and mentioning it in my application
