Hey guys,

I'm currently going into my 3rd year of my undergraduate degree, and did horribly in organic chem I and II in my 2nd year. I scraped by with a 65 in orgo I and did much more poorly in orgo II with a 59. With the exception of these two marks, my lowest mark in university was a 72, so they really stick out. I'm really not sure if I should retake orgo (only orgo II or both parts?) this upcoming year since I will be taking biochem at the same time (which I hear is very difficult as well). Retaking the course during the summer is not an option. Does anyone know how UK and Irish med schools view retaken courses? As in, do they not look at the retaken mark at all, or do they average out the two? I'm in desperate need of some advice! Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
