HELP! Not Sure What To Do Regarding App

[RyRy89]

So long story short, first year I f***ked up big time. I'm only now realizing that 1 semester of my organic chem course and my 1st year general chem course were below the C cutoff for a pass (C- for both). I didn't take any upper year chem courses so I don't have any wiggle room for ad-coms to look at potential upper year courses while still having the 16 semester hour minimum. Obviously no DO school is going to accept me if I don't have enough semester hours in chem, so what should I do? Should I retake those 2 courses in the fall and put them as Planned/In Progress in my application so they at least know I plan on retaking them? I also graduate in September so i'm not sure if taking those courses after i've gotten my degree would change how they'd look at them

Third thread from the top.

Not all schools don't take C-.

Below a C is under a 2.0 which most schools won't accept. If I were you I would retake those courses and just make sure that you apply yourself and get As in them. Good luck!

My only concern is that I won't even get secondaries because I haven't fulfilled the requirements. I was thinking of putting the 2 classes in my In Progress/To Be Completed section so they know I plan on redoing them.
