Might Fail OChem - Should I Give Up?

With my final coming up in the next few days, I'm afraid I might fail my orgo I class. It is possible for me to get a C- if I do really well on the cumulative final, but I am doubtful I will be able to pull that off. I've had a pretty hard sophomore year. Depression and anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks and the motivation I'm used to having just disappeared. I already withdrew from this class last semester, and now I'm facing making an awful grade. I'm terrified of what this will do to my chances to get into a med school. My GPA right now stands at 3.72, but I'm not sure what it'll be factoring in my grades from this semester. I'm also a merit scholar at a top 10 university, and this might cause me to lose that full-ride. Maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me, but is this it for me? Has anyone been able to get into a med school after doing so poorly in a pre-req?

If you can't withdraw now, do your best and take whatever you get. Even an F won't be lethal if you improve from now on.

But first, get your mental health issues in order.

If you withdraw, will you be able to keep the full ride? If so, I would say withdraw. Being able to afford school is important. It really is up to you, if you stay you have to REALLY put your all into this class to pull a good grade. Is there anything at all you can do as make up or extra credit?
