They do. They are also doctors and lawyers.   Maybe even your doctor or your lawyer.

There is always someone at the bottom of the class and you will never know who they are. [/quote]

They might get C's in Law or med school.  [b]But C's for undergrad do not get you into Med/Law school.  Hard to have a 3.9GPA with a few Cs, and you cannot get them in Prereqs for Med school. [/b]

But yes if not going onto professional school/grad school, Cs do get degrees

I know such a student who is now in med school.  Had Cs as undergrade and not great final GPA. Did a masters and took 2 gap years with internships and studied hard for the MCAT.  It might not have been a direct UG to Med school jump, but they got there with determination.[/quote]

So they got their because of their MS gpa and 2 years of work.  There's a reason they did that--because their undergrad alone was not going to make them a viable candidate for medical school.  
Gonna goes they had a really good MCAT and excellent GPA for their MS and great recommendations for their internship specifically targetted for someone on path to med school.  That is very different. 
Point still stands that most people are not getting into medical school with a sub 3.7GPA[/quote]
