So I know this question maybe a very repetitive question, and I'm apologizing ahead if annoys some people.

So currently, I'm a sophomore and I recently found out that I didn't do the best of my final exams to get the grades I wanted. Before, judging, I did study very hard for them and trust me I was very disappointed when I found out my grades.

For Organic Chemistry 1, I got a C+, and this is my first C ever. Like I have never received a C in a course at all. Throughout the whole semester, I worked very hard in this course and even got a tutor to help me with the course.
And I got a B+ in biology - the living cell, which is molecular biology. I had an A until, the final exam.

I understand that both of these courses are very important for medical school. Trust me I worked very hard in these courses, so this is very upsetting to me that I didn't get the grades I wanted. This was the worst semester for me in grades wise because I'm usually a A student and rarely even get B's. I was wondering what my chances are to get into medical school? And any advice to improve my chances.

I was also wondering whether I should retake organic chemistry over the summer? Or just work very hard to try to get an A in Organic Chemistry 2?

Again, I'm sorry if this question is annoying and repetitive. Any answer and replies to this thread will be very helpful! Thank you!

A couple B's and C's are not the end of the world, provided the rest of your grades are better.
 
I'll quote myself.

What are you talking about?

An A is great!
A B is okay.
A C should be taken in moderation.
A D and you Don't go to an allopathic school w/o some "splainin to do"

Kapeesh?

Edit: The exception being grade replacement at DO schools.

This was yesterday, scan for similar posts or use the search function (the engine sdn uses sucks though).
It's a very common question.
