Lettero of Intent - B in Biochemistry

Members do not see this ad.

I would like to send a letter of intent to a school where I am on the waiting list. Between all the chaos of med school applications and life, I ended up with a B in Biochemistry (and I've never gotten a B in my life). It's one of only two upper level science classes that I've taken, so I'm worried it will look bad to the adcom.

Would it better to send the letter without the grade and just say something more vague ("completed biochemistry")? Please advise!

Don't mention the grade, they'll see it at the end of the year if you're accepted. Also, they will not give a crap about one B if you've had a 4.0, chill.

I wouldn't sweat it. I wouldn't send a letter.
