So I just found out I literally failed my OChem 1 final…bringing me down to a C, the lowest grade on my college transcript. I had an upward grade trend up until this point (3.8 last quarter) and if I calculate correctly, I will probably end up with a ~3.4 by the time I apply to transfer. I was thinking of applying to UW and USC among others but those are my top two choices right now.
I also received a C+ in Calc I for fall quarter of freshman year but an A in Calc II summer before sophomore year. I don’t think I’ll be able to send winter quarter grades in time to UW or USC so I’m wondering how these two C grades will look…? I have a handful of As and Bs and I’ve finished pretty much all the general requirements for both schools.
I’m just looking for reassurance that bad grades in difficult courses can be overlooked a little, I guess. Does anyone have experience with this kind of situation? If so, what do you recommend I do?
