Hey. Whats up, well I'm a second year student currently a Life-Sciences/Bio major. For most of my life, since I can remember I have wanted to become a Physician. But first semester in college I got a D in Chem II. I am currently retaking the course and hope to do well. But since then I have been scared to apply to any med schools in fear of regection becuase of this grade, all of my other grades are good though (Gen Bio I - II: B, B) (Gen Chem I: B) (Embryology: B+) So after the horrible Chem II class I decided to go the pre-dental route instead, but recently my mind and heart have been telling me I should just pursure my dream of being a peditrician, but I'm wondering if a have any chance of making it. I want to be realisitc and practical. If anyone can give me some advice that would be great. Thank you so much🙂

That D is not going to kill you, as long as you have over 3.0 GPA both science and overall, 25+ MCAT, good ECs, you'll be fine....

retake.

You will be fine. Become a doctor if that is your dream. Retake the class, get some good clinical experience, and do well on the MCAT and you will be fine. Good luck!

Ask anybody out there, Pre-dental route is NOT any easier. You will be fine. There are many students who get into medical school with horrible grades. Good Luck
