<p>I just got my first C in Calculus, the rest were all A's, so I'm wondering how this could affect acceptance. Thanks!</p>

<p>Aaaaaah calculus sucks. I have the same problem that you do. Do you have the C right now or in the previous semester? If it is in the previous semester it shouldn’t be too bad since your gpa is still very good. If it’s this semester, there’s still plenty of time to raise it up :)</p>

<p>Yeah, no big deal.</p>

<p>I hate calculus, too.</p>

<p>I just improved my Calculus grade from an 80 to 86 (which is a C to a B). Yeah, Calculus is not my cup of tea.</p>
