Hi, I need help on what I should do about my low science gpa and I would really appreciate any advice.
I was a nursing major for a semester but I couldn't handle the upper level chemistry and anatomy course they put me in so I switched to biology. I didn't retake those courses again for they were specifically nursing courses. Now I am a sociology major and have been taking some science classes on the side like biochemistry and microbiology that I've been doing well in. However even though I've been doing well in those classes, The reason I changed my major is because I took general chemistry twice and got a F and a D respectively for during that year I had a lot of personal problems. I didn't retake that course again and now my science gpa is 2.5. Now I have 2 F's and 3 D's on my transcript. My cumulative Gpa is a 3.4 though. Do I have any hope of getting into optometry school with a low science gpa like this? Especially now that I'm doing a sociology degree?
