House of London..that's the thing. I get As in my PE classes and I got an A in the drivers ed class. My C was purely for my drivers ed lab portion which was basically only based on six sessions of performance behind-the-wheel. So are you saying that CU is realy gonna take that grade seriously and doubt my attitude as a student?

^^ I will explain all of this in the additional info section if i have to.

^^ I mean, I follow directions and all and do my work, which is why I got the A in the class...I just had difficulty with the hand-eye coordination since driving takes so much depth perception and my eyes are virtually incapable of it.

And if it validates me at all, no one got higher than a B from my instructor anyway because he was a stickler.

They're not and should never hold just one grade against you. Things happen and it may not be entirely your fault as to why you received the grade you did. It's when it starts to become a pattern among different classes over the 4 years that admissions start to doubt your potential.

Remember to stay off the sidewalk when Iris Murdoch is driving, kiddies. The road will be MUCH safer. XD
