I transferred to another university this semester. At my old university, I had a 4.0, but this semester I'm pretty sure I will get all B's. I am taking 3 sciences, including o chem, and a math class. Will getting B's in classes like o chem look bad to admissions committees???

warning: there are people on this forum who have B minuses to D's in o-chem who are applying now. don't expect to get sympathy from them.

B's should be fine in o-chem if everything else isn't a B- or below.
 
can't remember exactly but i think i got a C+/B- for O-Chem I/II. i do remember that my gpa (science and overall both) was a 3.4ish. getting B's in classes doesn't look great, but it also won't necessarily hurt you. most schools would like you to have a gpa of at least 3.5. if you do, that's not all A's. there are some B's in that mix. have decently solid grades, a strong mcat score (30+ if your gpa is 3.5ish, a bit higher if your gpa is a bit lower), and good extracurriculars and letters of recommendation. if you do all that, you'll get in somewhere. i've already been accepted to MCW. anyway, don't stress out about the grades. study hard, but a B isn't the end of the world.
 
hearing that refreshes my soul.....haha! Screw Ochem! :meanie:

Ochem has been much more enjoyable than gen chem has.

Then again, my favorite mathematics of all time is Euclidean Geometry. 😀

Actually it is much better than Gen Chem...its not quite as boring. But its harder.......a lot harder 😀
As for you liking Geometry....I would take 2 chem classes instead of takin 1 math class...yuck

Trust me. Mathematics is my weakness.

I'm trying to skid by with as little calculus as possible. 😀

Newton > Me.
