grades

I have made a thread like this one before but I just need to know for a peace of mind. I am a biology major and a fine arts minor I am a junior and will be getting ready to submit my application for med school in about a year. I went to a private liberal arts college for 2 years and I am...

Let me start by saying that I take full responsibility for my poor grades in the past. I had a rough family life growing up but I was also lazy and unmotivated (also depressed). I graduated high school with a 1.9 GPA and started at the local community college taking classes on and off for 2...

Hello everyone, I'm currently an undergrad (going into 3rd year) at Temple University, PA. I don't know if this matter has been discussed or not but I have a HUGE concern on my undergrad science grades and GPA (see attachment). I know it doesn't look really good but should I retake Biology 1 and...

I took a couple IB courses during my senior year of high school that allowed me to earn college credit through my local community college. I am filling currently filling out my coursework in AADSAS. When I look at the transcript from the community college for those IB credits, it doesn't say IB...

I am currently in the last gen Chem of the series. I received a 91% on the first exam and had a 90% in the class. The second exam I completely bombed and got a 20%( beyond failing). We have done about 450 points of work and the overall point total is 850. Should I continue sticking it out or...

Hi I could really use some advice from people who have either been in my shoes and gone to medical school or from those that have taken another path.I apologize for the length in advance and appreciate you taking the time to look at this post. I'm really really unsure about what I want to do...

Hey everyone, I'm currently in the 3+3 dental program at pacific (stockton) and my Gen chem 1 (1st sem) &2 (2nd sem) grades are C+ And B- respectively. I got a C+ in gen bio 1 (1st sem) and I think I'm going to get a B or B+ in my in bio 2 (2nd sem) class. My other non science classes are A's...

Hi everyone, I'm in a dilemma. I want my spring grades to count, but I have also heard that applying as early as possible would be extremely advantageous. I am on the quarter system and and will most likely have spring grades come out in late June before I can send out my transcript. I have a...

Hello! I apologize in advance if this post seems repetitive, but I could not find a thread that answers this specific question. I am going to be a senior in undergrad this fall, and I have oscillated between many various career options. The one that I have completed the most coursework for is...

Sorry for the textwall, I am really desperate for some feedback on my situation: During P1, I was late to the final exam of a 1 credit course not allowed to take it. They put me on academic suspension until I could make up the course, and when I returned to P2 year I was on academic probation...

Hi everybody, I was wondering if any of you could grant me some guidance. My first two years at college were very rough. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder and this greatly affected my studies. I ma not trying to use this as an excuse but I was very ill. I ended up attempting...

Hello everyone, I graduated with my B.S. in Biology in 2012 from UT Austin. My GPA at the time was a 2.27. I was pre-med in undergraduate, but I wasn't serious about it. I had no idea what I wanted to do in life, and studied biology because I loved it. Both my parents are immigrants: my dad...

I was fortunate enough to be granted admission to a few pharmacy schools, along with my #1 school recently. My #1 school requires completing my remaining courses with ALL B's, even non-pharmacy prerequisites. I have left all my hard biochemistry capstone courses for my last semester, and I am...

thanks.

Does anyone know how vmcas uses repreated courses when calculating gpa? Like do they average the grades together or do they take the highest grade or does it depend on which school you apply to?

Sorry if this is a silly question but just want to check... I am a senior in college, and will be applying to medical school this June. I am currently enrolled in a 2 unit dance class for fun/GE. Is it okay to take it pass/no pass? Do med schools look down upon taking a class not for a grade? I...

My goal is to take the MCAT Spring 2017. Here is my planned schedule for the next few semesters. I was wondering if you guys think it is realistic or if I am completely crazy! ps my Major classes will fill a few gaps for me to reach full-time and then I will only have about 2 semesters after I...

Hey! I am a first generation college student and I am looking for some advice. I feel like everyone I talk to sugar coats it and "believes" in me, but I am looking for someone to tell me if I am headed in the right direction or if my plan is completely irrational. I currently have my AA from...

Ok, so I am a sophomore. I have taken gen chem, gen bio, and calc 1. I keep getting B's in them. I have straight A's in all my non hard-science courses. I know B's aren't "bad", however they're starting to sink my GPA. Also it's especially annoying because they're all 88-89 %, so I feel like I'm...

Hi everyone! I just took my O-Chem II final and I'm freaking out. Last year, I got a solid B in O-Chem I (I was at a strong B+/A- until the final; I had a panic attack and most likely failed the exam I think). This year, I was off to a rocky start, I got a C- on my first test, but then started...

Hello everyone! I'm about to complete my first semester as a sophomore and it looks like I'm going to be receiving a D in my intro bio class.. On top of that my grades are really bad: I've taken 46 credits and got 5 C's so far and now 1 D. My gpa is a 2.6 and with my grades this semester...

Hi all, I'm not coming here asking for pity. Also, please know that practically no one in my family has gone to college so I don't have much support or knowledge about this stuff in general. Anyways, I just finished my first semester at a top public school, and my GPA isn't as high as I'd like...

*UPDATE* Ethics: C English II: B College Algebra: C Communications: B Not a good semester, but I can recover next semester and of course I don't have any D's so that's something to be thankful about. It is so hard to receive an A in college, good luck people. My grades are horrid...I know.

Hi guys! This is my first semester of my freshman year, and it's been pretty rough. My grades are not what they need to be, and I'm having a really difficult time trying to figure out what I should do. Here's an idea: In general chemistry I, I have 4 exams. My grades on the first 3 are 60, 65...

I hope I'm not beating up anyone, but I've been really stressed over the days and I have been devestated by outcomes of my grades, I really want to know if I'm suitable for any college and if I have any chance of actually becoming a doctor. If you're wondering I'm a sophomore in Texas. Pre AP...

I sent my transcript from my college to AMCAS in June, before my spring and summer grades were reflected. I did so because I anticipated submitting my application by July. However, I have not yet submitted my application, and now my spring and summer grades are all posted on my official...

So I received an 84.5/94 on my exam. Not bad at all, but my professor put in a 94.5/94 on blackboard. My question is, is it possible the professor will notice when she calculates the final grade? Will she be able to find out because the grade is over 100? The thing is, she handed back the...

Story time: I went to community college, got a 3.5. Meh. Then I went to a four year, which was a science/research based school and got a 3.9 there. I messed up on the old MCAT and got a 28 and got straight off the board rejected from all schools (and I applied to a **** ton), but did have a...
