So, I'm currently a student at a community college, and I'm planning to transfer to a 4-year institution as a Junior this Fall (USC hopefully.)
I got D's in 2 online courses (GE's) last year because I forgot to take the finals (idiotic, I know.) I managed to repeat the courses during the Winter Intersession and got A's. Apart from this incident, I was (almost) a straight-A student (3.94 GPA). I've recently decided to pursue a career in Pharmacy, and I feel like these D's are constantly hanging over me; they destroyed my chances at some of my dream undergrad schools, and now I feel that they might prevent me from going to a good Pharmacy school. My question is: is there any way that I can explain the D's to the schools that I apply to that won't make me look idiotic? Do (top) Pharmacy schools honor grade replacement? I'm planning to call up the specific schools that I'm going to apply to on Monday, but I was wondering whether you guys could give me any advice beforehand. Thanks in advance!
If it helps, I was 16 when I got the D's (I'm 17 now.)
