<p>got a C in a class but I would rather fail it is there a way I can do that? Professor didn’t respond to my email</p>
<p>Haha. There is a way, but the consequences probably won’t be worth it. Depending on the class, you can just say that you plagiarized.
In all honesty though, don’t let that C get you down. I’m assuming you want to apply to grad school, and you think that the C is going to hurt your chances?
Do better in your other classes, and explain why you got the C. There has to be a reason…
Job, family issues, etc.</p>
<p>Just accept it. Graduate schools will still see the C and your gpa is only averaged.
also, saying you plagiarized is a horrible suggestion…there are chances they could notate that = goodbye future</p>
<p>I’ve heard stories of people begging the professor to give them a C- instead… I think some did get what they “wanted.” Though, personally, I wouldn’t do it (I think some grad schools average your grades).</p>
<p>^I think UCLA doesn’t average the grades for the transcript, though. Also, a C- is only slightly below a C so even if the grades get averaged by the grad school, the OP won’t have much to lose. -.-</p>
<p>ah sorry, I forgot that averaging retake grades is for medical school -_-</p>
<p>Prof will give you a C- if you ask for it. But I suggest you don’t. Life goes on.</p>
<p>anyone care to post any myths/rumors/stigma’s they’ve heard of having C’s when applying for grad school? i personally never heard any except when i was in high school and my classmates would say getting C’s would never get you into UCLA or CAL … and here I am. is that the same case for grad school?</p>
<p>I’m sure it depends on the grad school but I think the focus is on your overall GPA rather than a bad class. I know at least for medical school a C isn’t a death sentence at all, especially if your overall/MCAT is good.</p>
