How harmful is a C in Chem lab?

Published

Hello everyone,

A few semesters ago I received my first C in my prereqs. For some reason my school splits your Chem lecture grade and lab grade. I got a B in the lecture portion but a C in lab, which shows on my transcript. Im applying for nursing school this semester so that C makes me a little worried. My other important science grades are:

A&P1-A

A&P2-B

Micro-A

As of today my gpa is 3.7 which I feel happy about. But that lab grade bothers me so much. People tell me it's just lab don't worry about it. But I know that there will be applicants without ANY C's and I just hope that it can be overlooked. Do you think it'll be a big deal?

There are so many ways this can go. From what I know, you should be fine. 3.7 GPA is rather a good one, considering the minimum is 3.0 last time I checked. Obviously, there will be students with better GPAs and students with worse GPAs than yours, you never know. All you have to do is have faith! I guess to increase your chances of acceptance, apply to multiple schools. Also, you may want to enhance your application with your relevant experiences such as volunteering at a local hospital, or LTCF. Good luck!
