Hi all,
So I know these "what if" threads can become inane, but I really need to know about my case. And no, I am not trying to boost my self-esteem. I just really need to know:
I am attending summer sessions at UC Irvine and I took a bio class for which I got a D. Granted, I could have dropped it even while taking the final. But I usually do well on finals and I figured while taking it that it would be okay, that maybe the curve would help me.
WRONG.
I am probably the first @#$# to get a D in a summer class. I feel like a dumb b#$ch, and on the top of it I have 4 Cs with no retakes. I regret being a biosci major.
I have straight As in every english class I ever took in my undergrad
But I love to read and write. And I love math and physics. During freshman orientation I had this sh*thole counselor who convinced my mom that only bio majors go to med school, and even though I wanted to major and chem/math or double major with english, i had to settle for bio.
I took the mcats last august and got 14 verbal, 13 physical, and 8 biosi with R for the writing sample.
What are medical schools going to think?? If I can't hack a bio class, how the @#$@ am I going to do in med school?
