Hey guys... so basically the title is the thing I'm worried about. Background: international, west coast top 40 non target UC. Math and Quantitative Economics (Econometrics) double major. CGPA 3.45 4 leadership positions (1 held for two years, 1 co-founder & president). 3 internships (1 consulting firm, 2 NYC, all boutiques/small firms, not big ones). GRE: not taken yet. Aiming for 330+, at least 325+.
Problem: 1 C in a computer science in my freshman year 2nd quarter, 1 C+ and 1C in two math classes (stochastic methods and abstract analysis). I can argue for the stochastic methods class here because during that quarter I was taking two classes with very similar topics. Got an A in another one and a C in this one.
Note: In Econ classes, we don't need too advanced math skills, basically simple calculus.
Targeting: MSF/MSM programs, and MA/MS Economics programs. My Econ grades are good and probably some of my letters will come from Econ professors.
Am I screwed? Can I get into top programs/top schools? What do I do to boost my chances?
Thanks a lot.
Excuse me but this forum is not geared for those who ever received a 'C' on their report card.
Good luck at Applebees.

@TNA" TNA, would you please give me some advice? Thanks !
Fine - since you (OP) gave me monkey shit - i'll bite and not troll.
3 CS WILL NOT MATTER AT ALL.
To boost your chances - focus on your social skills (not trolling).
Thanks for the insight man. Actually I posted this in the Business School forum to ask about the MSF/Econ programs, since I need another recruiting season after I'm in grad school... But this is really helpful and thanks again
Good point
Unless you get three C's in your A-levels, it probably doesn't matter
