how bad do C's look?

<p>so i'm applying to schools in the top notch such as BC, JHU, UChicago, and UPenn.
and i have 2 C's on my transcript and one was a point away from a D+ but somehow i managed to cling on.. do you think that'll hurt me badly? my unweighed is 91 point something and weighted is 94 point something.</p>

<p>anyoneeee?</p>

<p>A C certainly does not look that great. It will hurt you, especially if the C is in a class that corresponds with a Major you are interested in. If the grades preceding that C within the same discipline increase significantly, then you can/should explain why and how you overcame that bad grade.</p>

<p>lol… it’s even harder “after” you get in with that kind of record. I wouldn’t even apply to UPenn for starters.</p>
