caffefreddo Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hi everyone, PhD student here, and I'm concerned about a course grade: I will probably get a C in an advanced undergraduate course that's completely unrelated to my major... Will I get into trouble for this? My GPA will still be well above the 3.00 minimum required by the Graduate School, but it's my understanding that any grade lower than B will raise a red flag. Should I be as worried as I am? What do you think? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWalkingGrad Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It really depends on your program and your field. At my school a friend of mine got a C in a foundational course for the degree and nothing happened to her. I suggest you ask your advisor what they think. Good luck!

E-P Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm dealing with a similar problem and asked a similar question. I asked my department head, and was told that they understand that lower grades will happen in an undergraduate course, and so it's not a big deal, especially since your overall GPA will work out to be over a 3.0. I'd talk to your graduate advisor, but I wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
