Hey guys so I am 2nd year undergrad. I have yet to take any of my science classes as I have been working full time and doing other pre reqs. It has been a long journey to finally discover Podiatry but I am so excited now that I have. At the end of this semester I will have 33 semester hrs and will be quitting my job to focus on my science classes, MCAT and the other classes I have to finish up. I will be going into the Fall semester with a 3.81 GPA. This is because of 2 classes that I took while working over nights (worst time of my life BTW). I hate looking at those B's on my transcript. Would it be worth it for me to go back and retake those over the summer to get an A so I could be heading into my science classes with a solid 4.0?
This brings me to my other dilemma. I am two years out of high school and to be honest I was a slacker in high school, went through a lot my senior year and lost focus all together. However, I am back on track and pursuing my dream more than ever. I got a C or something in Chemistry in high school due to me not trying or caring. I am scared to be going into all of my science classes with really no prior knowledge. I am prepared to study my @ss off as this is the path I have chosen to take in life and I want to do the very best at it. Will I be able to pick up all the science along the way or should I already have a solid base of knowledge?
Thanks a lot; I really enjoy reading all of your success stories on here. Pure motivation.
