so what's the deal?

<p>so is it true that if you got one C+ on your transcript, your application is completely trashed, meaning the essays don't even get to bed read?</p>

<p>oops i meant *get read</p>

<p>Getting a C+ certainly doesn’t help, and it does raise a red flag. But I highly doubt they’d just throw it in the reject pile. They look at the applicant holistically (as you’ve probably heard a billion times), and so they look for reasons to accept you, not reasons to throw you out off the bat.</p>

<p>It’s not true.</p>
