    Hi everyone, I have a few courses that I received a C in and would like to retake them. The CCs in Florida do not allow retakes (and I am not sure if Florida Universities are the same, still waiting on a response). How are other Floridians retaking courses of C or better?

    Hi y'all, I was curious if anyone knows much about how DO school can lead you to being a surgeon (specifically Orthopedic or cardiac).
