So basically my gpa is quite amazing and my sGPA is lower but still very good, but I've never gotten an A in a chemistry class (besides one lab). It's basically B+ across the board B+: in a nursing chemistry class (when i was a nursing major), chem I, chem I lab, chem II, and orgo I. The 3 chemistry courses I have left are orgo II, biochem, and analytical chem and honestly I don't see myself getting lower than a B, but obviously chem isn't a walk in the park for me.

I'm minoring in bio as well so I've got a substantial amount of science credit, but is it a very big deal if I don't pull A's (if I don't in future chem classes) even though I'm competent in bio and other sciences.

(also reading this over I'm aware it reeks of neuroticism, but I seriously don't know if this even matters. I mentioned this to my advisor in the past and I basically got no answer)
 
Did you have a question?
I think they're saying they have a good science GPA and do well in bio but have never done well in a chemistry class, and they're wondering if that is such an issue that it will offset the good gpa.

I guess it will come down to the MCAT, then...

Assuming a decent MCAT score, as long as you have enough As in Math, Bio, and Physics to offset the Bs in Chem classes, so that your overall BCPM GPA is in the competitive range, you'll be fine.
