<p>I'm anticipating getting my first C in college, after getting As up to this point..simply because the material is difficult for me. I'm in my last semester here at my local 2-year so I'll be transferring to a 4-year next fall. I'm just stressing out because I feel like I'm not doing as well as I should and that I'm hoping the schools that accepted me won't rescind me later on.</p>
<p>Should I be worried or even be stressing out over potentially nothing?</p>
<p>A “C” isn’t terrible or a career killer. But depending on what you got it in makes a difference. If it’s a foundations class for your major and you need to understand the material, you need to get some help from the professor to clear things up. If it’s just a random gen ed that you’re never going to study again, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not going to hurt your transfer opportunity if you’ve gotten all A’s up to this point. Plus, grades don’t usually transfer, just credits.</p>
<p>If your acceptance is dependent on maintaining a specific GPA, which you won’t be able to do with a C, then I guess it would be pretty bad. Otherwise, not so much…</p>
<p>None of the schools that I got accepted to specifically stated a required GPA as a condition, just not drop any classes that I put down as ‘in progress’. The class is required for my major but after this class I’ll never need to take another class in the same subject again.</p>
<p>Drop the class.</p>
