Actually, while I'm talking about organic, I have another question for everyone regarding the section on PTCAS that asks "Does your GPA accurately reflect your abilities?" or something along those lines. Here is my situation:
My organic chem class was a disaster for me. I did okay on my first exam but knew I wanted to maybe drop the class: the course is, in general, very difficult, and the brand new, heavily-accented, foreign professor was not helping the situation. I decided I would wait to decide whether or not to drop until after my second exam. The day of the second exam was the final day to add/drop classes. I took the exam and knew I wished to drop the class. But, when I finished and was able to get to the registrar's office, they told me they were closed and it was too late to drop. I was stuck in the class. I worked hard but focused heavily on A&P instead of splitting my efforts.
Is that something worth writing about and checking "No" on the question on reflecting my abilities? Like I said, my science GPA tanked because of that one class and I want to make sure programs are aware that I am solid in my sciences and that this was not a normal situation.
