Bad grade in non-core course?

<p>I know that college addmissions officers tend to not put much weight to non-core classes (i.e physical education or art)</p>

<p>However, in my second (read: optional) read of art, I recieved the grade of C during on of the semesters, all due to one horrible, horrible quarter grade caused by a complication of various factors.</p>

<p>How negatively will this weigh on my application, for both acceptance and honors/merit aid? This isn’t killing my GPA overall; GPA barely changes from this grade alone.</p>

<p>Most schools just send out the final grade. Depending on what you got the other 3 quarters, it really shouldn’t matter.</p>

<p>Unless your school does something different.</p>

<p>I was talking about semester-wise…</p>

<p>If it doesn’t really bring your overall GPA down, you probably don’t have anything to worry about.</p>

<p>I sure hope so. Thanks =)</p>
