Grad school admissions heavily weight research experience/recommendation over GPA, especially when the miss ups are in early years. Nail your courses from here on out, and grad programs probably wont care about a gen chem grade (or two, I guess in your case). However, I would echo racinreaver’s comment that if you are truly struggling in gen chem, later chemistry courses will be difficult. You need to look at why you are doing poorly in these courses, and think about whether you can tackle higher level stuff. If you C+ your way through the course sequence, you will have a difficult time when it comes to grad admissions.
