i worked hard this semester but gave up every now and then so i ****ed up my gpa. i also didn't learn how to study for Ochem until mid semester so I got C's on the first 2 tests. i took harder classes but these seem like typical soph classes. 3 labs but one of them didn't meet every week.
i feel so bummed out about my gpa. i am a soph. sofar my grades are
bio1-b
bio2-b-
chem1- a
chem2- a-
calc2- a
calc3- a-
for this semester i will probably get b- in both neurobio and ochem, b+ in stats which is bull**** because i could've done much better, a- in math class.
yeah so my grades were good last year. but who cares about freshman year if i can't handle this yr's load. I want to go to a california school and i'm pretty sure i have no chance now.
What do u do when you give up? I have 3 weeks left and I just wanna quit. What motivates you? At this pt I just can't do much to change my grades. I just get so depressed when I hear my friends saying how well they are doing. sure my classes are harder but in the end no one cares and no one checks to see how hard your classes/tests were they just see your GRADES.
not for a california school.

Reasons people should not like the OP:
1) You have over a 3.7BCPM (and probably a higher cumulative) GPA and you're 'giving up'
2) You're only a sophmore and you're 'giving up
3) You expect people to feel bad for you about a B+ that you EXPECT to get NEXT SEMESTER.
If this is your internet only personality I guess thats fine, this series of tubes is a great place to vent anonamously. I just hope you posess the minimum level of situational awareness not talk like this in your classes, where your classmates may be facing real personal problems or may be strugguling just not to fail out of school. Being this worried (out loud) about something this unimportant is a great way end up friendless for the rest of your life.

So in the words of Michael Jordan...just do it.
actually other people seem to be doing better than me. maybe i'm talking to the wrong people. everyone seems to be balancing just as tough courseloads, making better grades, and doing more EC's.
Since everyone has already pointed out that you are fine, which you are, here is some different advice:
Focus better if thats what it takes to do better. Is there anything in your life that you can cut out to devote more time to studying? Is there something you do that isn't going to help your app that much that you can cut out and replace with something better? ECs are huge, and can more than make up for one bad semester.
Try taking 3 hours a week to volunteer at Hospice. That will be a really good experience that you can jump into after a little bit of training.
And about your 'freaking out,' I can promise you that this will not be the last time you think you are screwed. Everyone goes through these little freakouts at some point. Keep going, you'll be fine.
OK either I am going to motivate you or you just ruined it for me too hahaha.
So i got a C last yr (freshman year)...I got 2 Bs in chem, 1 A-. 1 A- in math, 2 Bs. 2 As in psych, 1 B. 1 B in mamm phys (hardest teacher EVER). Currently have 2 A-s, a B+, and a C- in chem if i dont do very well on the final...and i plan on going to a cali med school and not giving up anytime soon.
Am i screwed? kinda...because i have to work hard already and a little extra to make up for the slack...can i do it?
let me ask u...Can a very skinny asian man who weighs less than 130 lbs eat 53.5 hotdogs in 12 minutes ?

well there's your answer...that man is extremely lucky to eat that much with such a great metabolism...and me...IM hungry...for something else...MEDICINE...not in the crazy-i-want-to-swallow-random-pills-for-fun way...but the good way .
So in the words of Michael Jordan...just do it.
my gpa for this semester is gonna be around a 3.0 with labs and such.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and avoid other premed students like the plague. Sure, they'll be in many of your classes, and some may be your friends, but other than that stay far far away.
I wasn't a bio or a chem major, so the vast majority of my classes were with non premed students, and I loved it. The people in my major were MUCH more laid back, normal people, and it allowed me to focus on my own studies and not be caught up in what someone else was doing and how I could beat them. When I did take the prereq classes with many other premed students, I was already confident in my abilities after having done very well in my other classes, and aced them all. I am certainly not trying to brag here, but to demonstrate that the type of premed mentality can be poison for many people, and for me personally it was fantastic not being around them all the time.

i think i have the right to freak out. a 3.0 isn't good at all. but i guess it's not the end of the world if i can fix it.

none of that stuff is true which is why the commenter edited it out.
