So, I got a C in one of my Chem classes, but I have a 3.79 overall, a 3.5ish science, and a 4.0 in my major classes(I know they don't really look at this but my major is exercise science, so it's actually related to PT, and I feel like it shows that I'm actually interested in this material). Should I say something about it in the question asking about if you think your GPA reflects what you're capable of?
C in Chem, what should I do?

Unless there was some very special circumstance that caused this C, like a volcano erupted and made it so you had to walk thru lava to get to class, then no I wouldn't mention it.
You shouldn't put anything in that box unless some external force out of your control influenced your grades. Definitely not mitigating qualities.
I agree with the poster above. Short of some life altering event that caused that grade, don't fill anything in there. For example, I had to use it because of 2 bad semesters in a row during a time my brother had some serious health issues & I withdrew from nearly all my courses to help him. I wasn't making excuses, but I felt they needed to know there was a significant reason for the sudden anomaly in grades.
One C isn't going to make or break you.
