I have decent science grades (A's last semester) but I'm struggling with calculus 1....is it a huge factor for pharmacy school if I end up with a "C" in calc 1 but A's in my science classes?

I would definitely say dont worry about it. I recieved a C in Calc 1 and recieved invitees and acceptances from various schools. I was nervous like you were but it turned out prettty good. You'll be fine.

Whew!! Turns out I'm not the greatest at derivatives lol yeah I was worried bc I figured schools would frown on a C in math bc I wasn't sure if they looked mainly at just science gpa or both combined. Thanks!

I think way more focus is on the science GPA..I did well in calculus, but my math GPA # is 2.85.... 😳 Didn't seem to affect my application at all.

Depends on the caliber of school you're applying to.

I had a lot of A's and then a C in Calc 1. At the time, I felt the same way as you, freaking out. It's really not that big of a deal as long as all your other grades are A's and B's.

You'll be fine, my only advice would to prepare to answer why you earned a C. They may or may not ask in interviews but you should be prepared. Answer honestly without sounding too mushy and mention how you learned from it (priority setting, time management, etc). I earned a C in Chem 1 and a B in Calc 1, and I got interview invites to almost all of the schools I applied to. You'll ve ok.
