<p>Alright, looks like there’s no true way around this. Time to face the beast up front.</p>
<p>Rather than create another thread, can someone please give me their opinions on these questions: Should I acknowledge this subpar grade somewhere in my application, or just ignore it and hope for the best? If you think I should make mention of it, where do you suggest I do so (common app comments, within an essay, etc)?</p>
<p>Thank you, kind stranger reading and responding to this inquiry, very very much!</p>
