Hello! So I was wondering if anyone had some advice an O-chem situation I am having. I got a B+ in Organic chemistry 1 (and some vet schools only ask for 1 semester of o-chem I think?) but in O-chem 2, I got a D-. There were many factors such as medical illness, working 20 hours a week, plus taking all of my core classes in one semester and lets just say, I think I had way too much on my plate. I wanted to apply for 2016 admission, but I am not sure I can retake o-chem 2 before the application deadline. Other than that I have around a 3.3 cumulative gpa, 3.1 science gpa, will be taking the GRE over the summer so I do not have that score yet, 2000 hours of vet experience, around 2000 of experience of animal experience, and have 1000+ research experience and will be submitting my findings in hopes of getting published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. I would hate for my o-chem 2 D- and pretty much that whole semester to ruin my application. So I guess my question is, can I just apply to vet schools that only have the prerequisites of 1 semester of ochem? Or do you think some vet schools will still look at my application and I could retake o-chem 2 before the spring of 2016 to fulfill the prerequisites? Any advice would be helpful!
