[quote=Anonymous][quote]Perhaps I should clarify. She's actually not looking at top 25 schools, more in the 50-100 range but would like to get merit aid as we otherwise would not be able to swing $55k/year. With that being said, unless something super drastic happens, her overall GPA will still be about a 3.8 at the year's end...I think she's just nervous about having a big fat C on her transcript.[/quote]

In this situation I wouldn't be too worried.  Especially if her SAT scores are decent and she has a 3.8.  I graduated in the last five years, and I had several all AP/honors type-friends who had a C or two on their transcript but otherwise fairly strong grades (me included!).  The schools we went to or got in to included Reed, Wesleyan, Northwestern, Oberlin, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, American University, and University of Illinois Urbana Champagne (for engineering).  Not too shabby.  I know the landscape has changed somewhat, but top 50-100 should still be fine, and merit aid should still be doable with those kind of grades.  Try to avoid getting another C, but it's not the kiss of death unless you were dead set on getting into Harvard.[/quote]
