No, I doubt it.
 
I guess taking the class P/F wasn't an option?
 
Do not get a D! Don't come back to SDN until you take that final. Good luck!
 
I think it depends on the school. Some care even about C's, but others just want you to at least pass. Still, I would try to avoid the D.
 
just make sure you get a C. i think i'll be getting one myself. no biggie. i just don't plan on sending updating transcripts until AFTER i get in (hopefully).

right now, i am at a B / C border. i hope to get a B, but genetics is tough as hell. there is a 80% chance or more of me getting a C.

and mota, you have to send in your grades after you get in.....
 
I think I might snake out a C in evolution this year... the prof. just doesn't like my essays... I'm not stressin it though... hopfully 5 A's and a C won't send adcoms into a rejection letter frenzy :scared:

wow i'm in the same boat.... i will get 5As and 1C...

that equals 3.55 for me...
 
I would kill myself because you have ended your chances of any acceptance whatsoever. Come on? A freakin' C and your trippin'? Dude, you are golden. Don't worry about it (freakin' gunners 🙄 ) 👍
 
I thought I would get a C in Biochem this term. I worked my ass off studying for the final, made an A on it, and wound up with a B in the class. And this was after making a C, B, and D on the previous tests. You can do it; just study your ass off for the final and ask your prof if it's too late for extra credit (it doesn't hurt to ask).

"it's the end of the world as we know it..."
 
Ok I think we might be getting a little too paranoid here. I don't think one C will do anything to erase 3-4 years of work. Just relax and do well on the final. Not the end of the world in my opinion. Good luck.
 
I have 3 Cs and a D on my transcript and got accepted last week! You'll be fine!
