Ok so I know there are countless threads on bad grades, but I just really need to post mine to ease my mind.
So my story goes: this fall semester (my first semester-im a freshmen) my grandfather passed away unexpectedly right around finals. Needless to say it did mess up my grades.
I ended up with a A, C, B-, D. The C being in Calc and D being in Gen Chem 1.
Spring semester I started strong, fixed my learning methods. But I acquired (or rather realized I had problems) with anxiety. I ended up doing terrible on my chem exam and failing the class again with a D+. The rest of my grades are A, A-,A-, B-, C+ (In bio 1). My overall GPA thus far is 2.65. I am taking 3 summer courses and planning to get As in all, and I'm retaking Gen Chem at a state college. Any advice as to what I should do from hear on out, and how bad this will affect my chances at med school. I know a lot of hard work will have to be inputed on my part to raise my GPA, but even with consecutive A's and A-'s, I will barely slide with a 3. 6 GPA comes end of Junior year. Any advice and honest input would be greatly appreciated!
