Does GCSE Citizenship actually matter?

I did a citizenship short course GCSE and I got a D. B from the actual test and D from the coursework (coursework is 60%) so I got an overall D. Does citizenship matter enough to stop me from getting into good colleges and uni? I didn't want to do bad in citizenship but I didn't have time for it due to focusing on Core Science GCSE (which I got an overall A for - A* Chemistry, A Biology, and B for Physics) therefore I didn't have time because this science GCSE actually decided whether I do triple or not. FYI I'm targeted As for most of my subjects. Please let me know whether it will be a problem or not.

No. Don't worry about it. It's a short course so not even a full GCSE anyway.

No, it's treated like any other GCSE.
