Dental Do I need to retake Chemistry for a third time after an F and C?

[TheBoneDoctah]

Hello! I took general chemistry twice, the first time I got an F! the second time I got a C
Yes, chemistry is not my subject.
My question is, will dental schools average it to a d+? does that mean I have to retake it again to be average to at least a C? Or they
ll take the C but the GPA for the course will count averaged to a D+?
I'd appreciate the help!

From my knowledge, dental schools don’t do grade replacement so your GPA will include both courses taken. However, you passed the course with a C so you should be good (for passing the course).

True they average both grades they don’t do grade forgiveness. But you think I’m good on not repeating it again Since the second attempt was a pass?

What is your cGPA and sGPA?

You passed the repeat so you met the requirement. Your GPA calculation will average all attempts for screening.

3.2 both

I guess it depends. You passed with a C. From the looks of it I am not sure an A is in the cards for chemistry. I would just move on if I were you. If you were telling me you felt you could ace the course, then I may retake it but you don't wanna risk another low grade.

This. You passed the course on your second attempt (so you're good there), but when calculating your GPAs, both the F and the C will count as a D average in your GPA ((0.0 + 2.0)/2 = 1.0 = D). Move on from this and make sure you do well in Ochem as that is a whole other beast. Make sure both of your GPAs are above a 3.0 or you may need to look into Masters programs!
