Hey everyone,
First post in the forums, long time observer. I am a URM, graduated with a 3.8, cum laude, phi beta kappa with a couple other awards for scholarship and community service. Science GPA from minimum number of science required classes was a 3.4 (no pre-reqs). Worked for a couple years in low income communities and saw firsthand the challenges families and students have with accessing medical care and want to do something about it.
I took the plunge to start taking pre-req classes while working full time. Gen Chem is kicking my ass, class average on last two quizzes was a 30% but I think I am headed towards an A or A-. Biology is another story. Last exam was rough; class is 5 weeks behind schedule (yes, 5 weeks). Due to class being behind schedule, our 4 chapter exams and final are being changed to two chapter exams and a final, which makes this last exam count for more. Long story short, I'm headed towards a B+/B. Should I drop the class or keep the grade and move on?
