Worried about how retaking Organic I and turning a C to a B looks in a pharmacy school application...

I might get a B and wow, I've tried so hard.

A C in organic doesn't look great. A B is much better and it shows dedication. Just do well on your PCAT to back it up.

Retaking it and obtaining a higher grade will speak more volumes than the grade itself. Don't sweat it.

Why not C to an A?

C to B is better than C to C or C to D.
Just don't mess up anymore and work real hard.

Stay confident!!! You are doing a great job if all your other courses are A's!!! One B (especially organic) coupled with all those A's will look spectacular! Keep it up!

Thank you so much. Thats what ended up happening. Got all A's and a B in organic 1. I had an 89.4 and the teacher didn't help for the A. She told me it's unethical. Oh well, I'm still so happy and very proud and thank all of you for your support.

Wait, what's an A in the U.S.? Over 90%?

Yes, unless the professor does +/- then it's usually around 92%-93%.

Congrats on your hard work!

I was in a similar situation where I had an 89.7 in a Chemistry course and received a B. I was rather bitter and "best part" was that the teacher was my research advisor. 😡

Wow that's weird. I'm from Canada...an A here is anything above 80. Getting over 90% would be considered exceptional.

I know right and thats cause we had this extra credit assignment which turned out to be fourty pages hand written front and back I turned in which was to be worth 3 points. The teacher ends up counting it as 2 because supposedly we already had an extra credit assignment (10 points added to our lowest quiz grade...and our lowest quiz grade got dropped anyways lol)...so with that I would have had it. And @ the other user, I'm not sure about canada or other places, but here B is 80-89 A is 90-100
