Hello,
I dumb-goofed this semester. I am a sophomore in college and currently have a 3.3 GPA. This semester, I took a light course load for several reasons. I pledged into a professional pre-health fraternity, my mom got diagnosed with Hepatitis B, my father was diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimers, my close friend from home passed away from cancer, I was in a 5 year relationship and just went through a break up, and I was so socially lonely that I didn't manage my time between my social and academic life. I am receiving an F in Molecular Genetics (4 credit class). My professor is not understanding which I suppose I understand, it's his job to teach it's my job to study and execute my knowledge. I want to get into dental school. I am most likely receiving a C or C+ in Orgo 2 (4 credit class). An A in a 2-credit classes, my internship class and an A- in my 2 credit Orgo lab. I have 2 internships ready for me next semester, one being a dental one. I am also a resident assistant, as well as Judicial Board representative for my Fraternity. I am also taking summer classes such as Physics 1 and then a few other classes for my Health and Wellness minor which at least the minor are easy As. I can probably fit Molecular Genetics in my senior year to retake it but I am not confident that I will Ace it. It was a very difficult class that is fast paced, no textbook use, and only grades are out of 4 exams. If I miraculously receive a D in the class I can retake it, but the D is added into my GPA not my new grade. If I do, which is my realistic scenario, I will be able to retake it and the F and new grade will be added into my GPA. At the moment I am concerned that a) will this prevent me from getting into dental school as my GPA is so low at the moment b) even if I do retake it I know it looks promising if I Ace it but I assure you I am not capable of acing that class. Do my extra curricular and involvement make up for my terrible grades? What should I do?
Dental students, Dental schools please advise. I am also too discouraged to tell my parents because they hear I got a Dental internship and think I really am doing so well, but I am not at all.
