Should I talk about my C grade in the secondary essays
The title above. Basically got a C in one of my classes in the last semester of school. Couldn't attend the final as I had to go to my grandmothers funeral who died of COVID-19. Don't know if I should even mention this. Talk about other stuff in COVID-19 essays, and now debating whether to mention this. My GPA's not bad even with the C, it's above a 3.8 and I don't really want to come off as complaining or bring attention to the grade itself. Not talking about it in the additional...

COVID-19 Prompt Secondary Question
Please describe if and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected your preparation for applying to medical school. (750 chars)

WAMC cGPA: 3.88, sGPA: 3.96, MCAT 518
Hey everyone! I am a traditional applicant who is applying in the current cycle. My goal is to get into a T20 program.
