I just got my grades back for this term and they are not that great. I got an A in Philosophy, a B in O Chem Lab, a C+ in Genetics, and a C in O Chem. As far as EC's this term, I'm a TA for Gen Chem Lab and a scribe for two internal medicine doctors. Am I totally screwed because of my grades?
 
absolutely no. take more advanced course and get A's u will be fine.
 
Make sure those C's aren't consistent things, i.e. do better next semester and you'll be fine.
 
honestly, those grades don't look too good, but one bad semester won't usually wreck your app. your extracurriculars seem worthwhile, but i wonder if they cut into your study time too much? i ask this b/c genetics and o-chem were very different for me, so doing badly in both seems like it would have to do with a bigger problem with your semester... anything particularly bad happen?

don't get too discouraged - i would try easing into next semester with less time spent on ECs - they're important, but your pre-med classes should come first, i think. and try and think if there were other reasons your grades might have suffered.

good luck - and remember that one semester of your life won't make or break you...
