Maybe I blew the interview...I was on four hours of sleep because my flight got delayed so i was probably speaking gibberish. Im also out of state.
My school was UC Irvine in California. They limited the amount of As they gave out to be competitive. For most bio and chem classes: The curve was approx 17-20% As, 30-35% Bs, 30-35% Cs, and 17-20% D/Fs. So for lab with 20 people approx 3 people got As. Everyone hated it. And thats why I think the community college route would have at least bump me up to a 3.5-3.6. I just wish there was a way I could have gently explained this during the interview.
