Okay, I had been doing really well in my prereq and gen ed courses at a community college: A's in everything including ChemI, Anat/Phys I-II, Composition, Speech, Economics, and Psychology (graduated with an A.A. w/ high honors). Last semester was my first at a top university. I got an A in biology and A- in ChemII, but a stupid C+ in calculus. That's my first low grade ever in all these courses. Do you think this C+ will be a huge disadvantage, especially since admissions committees probably look more closely at *university* grades and probably also place on emphasis on prereq grades (my cumulative gpa is not too bad if you factor in all the gen eds)? I know I should've done much better in that course, but I had an awful professor and had to basically teach myself everything...in the midst of adjusting to a university and experiencing my pet's death (tho that's not as significant as a person's death, it was still tramatic). Anyway, just wondering what you all think. Thanks.
