<p>This year a bunch of people were cut for having one C.
There was one person who made it with C’s and a somewhat lower GPA–a lot of B’s if I remember correctly. That student had glowing recommendation and info from school that explained his unusual circumstances/disability.<br>
Don’t expect to make it with a C. But you might ask your counselor/teacher (whoever writes your letter) to explain, beg, plead your case, etc.–that seems to be your only hope.</p>
