So I'm a senior and I applied this cycle. Just wanted to get some opinions on receiving a C in physics I. I'm a non-traditional 30 yr-old applicant and this is fortunately/unfortunately my only C post-bac. I took 18 credit hours this past semester and many of my other classes were upper level science courses that I anticipate receiving A's in all but one course besides this physics. Anyone else have a similar situation and success or issues with this when it came time to interview? Do schools place much emphasis on Physics anyway? Some input would be greatly appreciated.
 
As long as you don't make a habit of getting C's, you'll be ok. I have several C's on my transcript (2 of which are from Physics...) and I still got accepted this year.
