I just got accepted to LECOM-FL, but the acceptance letter stated that it was contingent upon my completion of Organic Chem II. I already took it once, and got a 1.0 in it, which is good enough to get me into Biochem here. It is going to be a huge pain in the butt to work Orgo II into my schedule for next spring though, and I was wondering if you think they will accept my Biochem scores as proof of proficiency, as opposed to making me retake Orgo II. What do you think?

What is the letter grade for 1.0?

Probably a D.
I think most schools won't accept a grade C- and lower.
Just retake Osh*t-Chem--sorry, I mean O chem. It's not worth the risk. Buckle down and deal with four months of Hell, O chem style.
I think it's a good trade anyway: four more crappy months in exchange for a lifetime of your dream profession. 👍

If biochem instead was ok, my guess would be they would have told you that. just do it. you're in, you're going to be a doctor. what's four months of an irritating schedule in exchange for that?
maybe you can take the Orgo online at a reputable 4 year college/university. Don't slack though!!

Since you're already accepted I would retake it at a Community College. It's cheaper and ... 🙂 (not as painful).
