It's passed the withdrawal deadline and the highest grade I can in this class is a B uncurved (professor isn't clear with the grading scale but prior to my last quiz I had about a B on his generalized scale (slightly above the class average), now I believe I'm at the class average or slightly below). I've been very hard on myself about struggling in this class.

Can any of you guys give advice and success stories of turning around a class?
I just want a B in this class. I'm trying not to get a C which it looks as if I'm on pace for it.
The professor hinted in the emails that there will be a curve in which I assume a 87-90 will be an A in this class in the end approximately. Based on his syllabus to pass the course, he is open to adjusting the boundary by 10 points.

If you're "on pace" for a C and and it sounds like he's going to curve (he will, by the way), then quit fussing. You're probably realistically on track for a B already after curve (maybe B-). Just put forth your best effort and quit being such a damn stereotypical neurotic pre-med.

Probably best to talk to the professor in person. Going to be doing that tomorrow before class.

I take my B's with pride in hard classes. Hell, it could be worst. A lot of classmates have failed or did badly so far this semester in Biology. I'd say about 30 out of 60 maybe got a C- or worst, and even my humanities class, a lot of people failed midterm, so it could be worst. Just do your best and work harder, and stop wasting your time on here.

Yeah I'm exactly where the class average is. I know about 6 kids in my range or lower. Talked to the professor, he said I shouldn't be too concerned. I am probably within the high C/low B range at the moment.

People get C's and D's all the time and still get into good MD/ DO schools. You're fine.

Well according to my professor, my current performance is fine for a C+/B- at the moment. Which I'm ok with but I want to do better and get that B! 🙂. Besides this class I could get a 3.9-4.0 for 17 credits lol.
