Initial Grades

Hello I was wondering if someone could tell me if I have any shot of acceptance down the road with grades like these without having to do extra schooling post-undergrad? I'm only in my Sophomore year and I'm trying to grind out the grades, but Idk... Things are not going as I expected.

Gen Bio: C
Gen Bio Lab: A
Gen Bio 2: C
Gen Bio 2 Lab: A
Gen Chem 1: Reaching for an A, might have to settle for a B.
Gen Chem 1 Lab: Reaching for an A.

I also have no idea how to calculate my sGPA because I've transferred schools once and don't know how that plays into calculating it.

Thank you

It's not a great start but if you end with an upward trend of mostly A's in the rest of your prereqs you will have a decent shot when you apply. I would also put extra time into studying the Bio section of the DAT to make up for the C's.

Be honest and ask yourself–'am I contributing enough time toward my studies?' If not, I suggest you re-evaluate your priorities. Not trying to be a jerk here; I want you to do well.

A few C's won't ruin you, but you definitely need to make improvements in the long run.

You'll be alright with a few C's. It not how you start, but how you finish that matter. Just make sure you finish strong.

Yeah thank you for your responses. I had a lot of stress my freshman year and had to make quite a few adjustments. I understand it's not the best path to start on, and I'm trying to salvage my grades now. I'm super intimidated by what the Orgo experience will be like.
