<p>I'm attending UIUC for my 4+2 Architecture undergrad, and it looks like I'm probably going to be getting a C in my Physics 101 course. My strengths lie overwhelmingly in design and theory, and although I'm only a freshman I'm sure I will be able to do great studio work while I'm here. I am scared but prepared for the other, more quantitatively-based courses in my program. Overall, with the exception of this course and a B in Calculus, I intend to get A's in the remainder of my courses. My question is, will this C prevent me from getting into a good graduate program? I understand that C's "catch the eye" of admissions people, particularly in math or physics. I love this field and I'm afraid my shot at it is over. Help?</p>
<p>As you say, keep your overall average up. I got a C in Physics once too, and it didn’t pose a problem for grad school. Odd thing is, I love physics. Go figure!</p>
