<p>I was wondering how bad a C looks on a transcript? I've gotten all As and some Bs, but only one C. How bad does it look then?</p>
<p>=[</p>
<p>There are soooo many threads on this....</p>
<ul>
<li>"It doesn't look good."</li>
<li>"If you have a strong application, it's fine." </li>
<li>"Don't worry, you can redo it." </li>
<li>"Can you take the class over an get a good grade?" </li>
<li>"Just make sure you do your best next time."</li>
</ul>
<p>It doesn't look good.</p>
<p>If you have a strong application, it's fine.</p>
<p>Don't worry, you can redo it.</p>
<p>Can you take the class over and get a good grade?</p>
<p>Bad. Why would colleges choose YOU over kids who are academically excellent and determined?</p>

<p>There was one more quote to repeat and you blew it. Way to go.</p>
<p>Positron, </p>
<p>Just make sure you do your best next time.</p>
<p>You can retake classes?</p>
<p>I think one of the best things the school system has right in the country is retaking classes.</p>
<p>What's up with all you being so stuck up?</p>
<p>Well, C's aren't that good, but it doesn't ruin your transcript. You've gotten A's and B's along the way, so a C is not like getting an F where you all of a sudden have a big hole in your transcript. So, your best move right now is try to do some ECs and get your SAT/ACT scores up and do better in other classes :)</p>
<p>It's very bad...you've created a glass ceiling for yourself. Congrats!</p>
<p>What class was the C in?</p>
<p>As far as I know, you can't retake C's. You can only retake D's or F's.</p>
<p>i think a c looks ok, i mean it's got nothing on the o, but it's 3/4 of the way there...</p>
<p>It depends where you are applying.</p>
<p>I have the same problem. I missed the B by .2 points, and my teacher won't give it to me. It's in the subject I plan never to do anything with again in my life, yet I got a near perfect score on the PSAT: math. Personally, I'd like to go to Princeton, Yale, Georgetown, NYU, or Columbia. Oh, and the "C" was freshman year. How will this affect me (besides class rank)?</p>
<p>Steve u should be fine.
a C in freshman year wont matter as long as your grades Soph, JUnior, Senior year are up to par with those school's expectations.</p>
<p>Our school only allows you to retake if you got an F. And when they say "allow" they mean "you have to in order to graduate".</p>
<p>Work on strengthening your overall GPA. Show improvement in the class you received the C from. I ended up with a C- in Honors Alg II/Trig last year, even though I've always had A ranges for my Math courses.</p>
