Freaking out

<p>I go to a pretty tough school and unfortunately got stuck with a stubborn, unfair, and rather immature economics professor. I realize that others have done well in this course so basically the latter are bs complaints. </p>

<p>Well i got a C in my first semester of college. All A's and a C! I really wanna get into a good law school. And I recognize that GPA is one component of the application. But how badly will this weigh me down?!</p>

<p>Don’t freak out. What’s done is done. Just move forward and continue to work. One C is not going to kill your career, although I know it must be disappointing to you. Also, a word of advice that some may not agree with but that I think is helpful: before signing up for your classes, talk to upperclassmen and get a feel for how each professor is with regard to grading (easy, tough, fair, etc.) This will lessen your chances of ending up with a professor like the one you describe above. Good luck!</p>
