C in Physics I

[theA1doctor]

These are my grades for pre-reqs and relevant courses

Chem I- A
Chem II - B
Orgo I - A
Orgo II - A
Genetics - A
Physics I - C
Physics II - A
Cal I - A
Cal II- A
Cal III - A

What I am concerned over is how bad does that C in physics I look. I got careless and did not study as much I should, had I had done that I would have had an A in Physics I too. My cGPA with the C is about a 3.82?

Should I retake?
please reply

Your GPA is 3.8...

There's absolutely no point in retaking imo, especially since you got an A is physics II.

 

[alienshards]

No. You have an A in physics 2. That proves to me you know physics.

Should I retake?

No! One bad grade won't matter... Besides you got an A in Physics II and that will offset the C you got before.

No one will tell you to retake it. Retaking it would be dumb. One bad grade is not going to kill anyone's application. /thread

Moving to WAMC.

Provided you understood the course material well enough to excel on the MCAT, or can self-study adequately to enhance what you did learn, there is no reason to retake Physics I. Get an A in Physics II and redeem the C to show it was a temporary aberration.

I would not retake and would not be shy to apply to top schools either.

You have excellent grades overall. A good MCAT score could erase any doubt.

I attend a university with a top 10 associated med school. Adcoms always tell us that one C is fine as long as it is a one time thing. Looks like for you it is. Really, don't worry about it.

What about 2 Cs?
