So my last semester (I graduated Fall 2008) I got a C in Physics b/c I was having a bit too much fun and not enough studying...

here are my Fall grades:
Physics C
Physics lab B+
Anatomy and lab A
English A
Humanities A

FYI my overall GPA is around a 3.6 (this Physics C would be my second C on my transcript)

So I mean it's not SO bad but the thing is I am currently WAIT LISTED and I also have an INTERVIEW coming up soon...so I don't want to disappoint Adcoms when they are making their decision on me. But then I also want to update them and be honest...so WHAT SHOULD I DO? ACADEMIC UPDATE OR JUST LEAVE IT and let them find out after they accept me (hopefully)?

I appreciate your responses. Thanx!

Pony up and update. It is the ethical thing to do and the C will not kill your chances anyway.

You have no choice but to update and there is no time like the present to update. Even if you did choose not to update until after an acceptance, they will still see your grades at some point before you arrive on campus. Thus, if they are going to use this to keep you from getting in (doubt it) now (pre-acceptance) than they will still count it against you post acceptance. I don't know if I am making alot of sense, but bottom line is that you need to update and now is the time to do so. I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps.

Call the school and ask about their policy on post acceptance. Usually schools ask for C or higher after acceptance so you should be ok.
