<p>Should I retake it? How badly will this affect my chances considering all my other grades are A's.</p>

<p>1.) No.
2.) How would you like us to quantify badness?</p>

3

<p>I guess what I'm asking is am I still good for top 30 med schools, and does this grade deny my admittance to say top 5 med schools?</p>

<p>This grade does not automatically deny you anything. Obviously it makes a very difficult task even more difficult.</p>

<p>C+ in orgo is pretty bad... retake it!</p>

<p>In most cases, retaking a class will result in the two grades being averaged. So even if you get an A the next time around, it won't be counted as a "real" A. You'd be better off proving that you can handle tough science courses by doing well in upper level classes.</p>
