C grades?

So I've gotten 2 C grades in my college career so far. One in Stats1 and another in Intro to Philosophy.. silly I know.

Anyways, these aren't exactly requirements to many pharm schools, but do you think having low grades in these courses would severely cripple my chances? If so, what ways could I offset this? I could possibly take the courses after them, which I wouldn't mind too much for stats, but philosophy was miserable for me.

I was planning on possibly taking Calc 2 or stats 2 to compensate for stats. And just doing well in all my other courses to compensate for philo... any ideas?

Also, which physics would be better to take? With calc or without?

Two C's aren't going to kill you. My 7 C's didn't kill me.

Just stop getting them & I doubt they'll even take a second look at those C's.

Check the schools that you're interested in and see if any of them require physics with calc. If they do, then it's clear what your choice is... but if they don't, then you don't have to take on the additional stress! 🙂

No, a few certainly don't hurt much. I've heard that W's are what really look somewhat bad on a transcript, since they sort of show you don't follow through with what you start (this is just hearsay though).

Just finish strong in a few pre-reqs to make up for them, once you pile on the credit hours they'll be but a slight wrinkle in your academic career.
