Hello,
I was wondering if DO schools look more at the overall GPA or at your grades in specific classes. I’m in a bit of a unique situation. I have nonverbal learning disability which causes a lot of problems in spacial perception has made Calc 2, physics I, and the first semester of Organic (which was mostly stereochemistry) a struggle. I did fine in second semester physics, second semester organic, biochem, analytical, and tons of other upper level science classes, but my C- in calc 2, C+ in physics and C- in my first semester of organic are bringing me down a lot. I was wondering how much this mattered. I did extremely well in the second semester of organic which was more reaction based, I just struggled a lot with the 3d visualization aspect.
Should I retake any of these classes? Most DO Schools I’ve looked at require a semester of organic plus a second semester of organic or biochem. I did great in second semester organic and biochem which means I should have met the requirements right?
I also have a 509 MCAT score and got a 512 on a practice test last night. Should be able to beat that when I retake in 2 months. Currently a junior beginning to make my list of schools
