Can someone provide me insight on how admission board thinks. How does a B average student look like than say B average student from four year college ?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I was in a similar situation. I worked 40 plus hours a week while taking a full course load. My advice to you is to make a sacrifice. Ask your job if you can cut back some hours, offer you part time, or look for another job that could be more flexible. (This would also mean cutting back financial spendings too, but you can't compromise your grades).Currently, I'm taking Biology and Chemistry at CC. My average for Chem is 88% and Bio is 89% including labs. No matter how hard I study I'm never achieving the grades I desire. Let me give you an example, today was my third test in bio, back of my mind I knew I was prepared and I prepared intelligently. Then I sat down for the exam, as I'm going through each question I quickly come up with an answer. Then when I'm done with the exam I will usually review my choices and this is where I make the mistake of changing my original answer that was correct in the first place to incorrect answer. I just can't seem to shake this bad habit of changing answer frequently.
This is really bothering me, making it difficult to reach my potential. I study and prepare for each exams week in advance.
What should I do ? I really have a desire to be a pharmacist and I feel this is just starting point at cc what happens when I take University level science courses ?
Additionally, the undergraduate gpa is 2.8. This is in Business Management. I won't go into detail why I have a 2.8, but lets just say that my priorities weren't straight. As you can see I really have to show admission board that I am capable of handling science courses.
Many of you may think that my average is not bad at all this semester , but I don't want a B I want a A. I work so hard this semester while working 40 to 45 hours a week.
I feel that science is my strong point, but I really need to figure out a way to over come my exam taking obstacles.
I would kindly appreciate it if you can share your test taking ability tips.
Thank you

Regardless, you will have to realize what's more important to you. Otherwise, learn how to time-manage. It's difficult but if you could pull it through, admissions like to see that too. Don't forget to talk about your challenges when you apply. It helps them see your character.
