Long story short my cumulative and science gpa will be around a 3.85, but I’ve had to work more than usual this semester to support my family. I do well on exams and assignments, but was unable to attend class. Due to this, I’ll be getting a 2.5 in an intro to research methods course (a largely participation based course) with no forgiveness of circumstances from the professor. I am an assistant in a research lab as well, but will this look bad to schools? If so, how would I explain this on AMCAS without essentially blaming the professor?

The rest of my stats are pretty on par for a good application.
