I was talking with my advisor for Civil Engineering, and we were talking about grades on transcripts affecting grad school entrance. When I took Calc III I got a C (took in sophomore year), which since I've learned well and been doing well with classes requiring it as a prereq - but I was wondering, how much does a C hold against me when I apply for grad schools? Is it a deal breaker, or can it be mitigated? I'm really worried about this.

"Also, some of my classmates considered me a sadist ;->" I think they/you mean masochist?

Flunked one quarter of quantum mechanics (Phys 2) and one quarter of Chem 2; graduated with 3.16 (because that rounds up to 3.2). Doesn't seem to have mattered much on graduation, even though every company requested transcripts. But, that was an easier time overall...

AMA95 (intro to complex variables) was the tough one. Supposedly, there was a guy who was a super-senior when I was a freshman and who graduated the same year I did, all because he couldn't pass AMA95.
