Combating Senioritis / Burnout

So I made the decision to apply to medical school during my senior year of college. Now that I've actually been accepted (praise the Lord ) I'm having troubles keeping my grades up. Part of the reason is that for one particular class, the professor hasn't been particularly accommodating with me travelling for interviews (gave me half credit for late homeworks that I couldn't hand in when I was away). As a result, I have a C in midsemester grades. In addition, I'm an engineering major, so I'm still taking some rigorous classes and capstones. Would it be bad if I had 2 C's (worst case) and 3 A's? I've been looking at other threads and it seems like other people's acceptances hasn't been rescinded because of this. In addition, what are some techniques to combat senioritis. I feel super neurotic for writing this post -- thanks in advance.

Probably not. That's the best answer I can give. Highly unlikely you'll get in trouble for a couple C's last semester, but more likely if they drop to D's. Take it easy and enjoy the semester, but not that easy.
