<p>I am planning on applying to master's programs in International Affairs (georgetown, american, gwu, tufts, columbia, and pittsburgh). During my undergrad, I got a B+ in MicroEconomics and a C and C+ respectively in macroeconomics and businesss statistics, as our econ department has a crazy curve due to it being highly impacted. My actual percentages in both classes were in the mid 80s, so they wouldve been Bs without the curve. My question is how important are these grades in the application process? Do any of you have the same experiences?</p>
<p>my solution at the moment is just to retake the two classes at a community college, while I am working. however, my Cs from before will still how on the transcript. Would admissions just take the higher grade I get in those classes? It sucks cuz without this crazy curve, my actual grades would've been Bs in those classes!</p>
