I got a b- in psychology my GPA a 3.89 now should I be worried about that b- at this point, I don't want to retake it I didn't like the class?
No, don't retake anything better than a C minus.I got a b- in psychology my GPA a 3.89 now should I be worried about that b- at this point, I don't want to retake it I didn't like the class?
does this apply for pre-reqs too? Most people I know with a C in orgo retook.No, don't retake anything better than a C minus.

Even if you failed the course, you could still get into med school.I got a b- in psychology my GPA a 3.89 now should I be worried about that b- at this point, I don't want to retake it I didn't like the class?

Those people are stupid.does this apply for pre-reqs too? Most people I know with a C in orgo retook.
Yea, our pre-med advising office tells us the cutoff is B-, and to retake anything lower unless it's a 1000 level class (bottom of intro). Hence why almost everyone I know retook a C in a orgo or biochem unless they were doing a Masters.Those people are stupid.
It would be even more foolish to retake a B-.
It's terrible advice because the C is already on the transcript, and nothing less than an A is expected on a retake. As a result, a retake is all risk with no upside. I get that people like the optics from the resulting slight bump in the GPA, but schools really are not impressed by As in classes being taken for a second time, and anything less than an A in a class being taken for a second time is just not a good look. Even worse for a prereq.Yea, our pre-med advising office tells us the cutoff is B-, and to retake anything lower unless it's a 1000 level class (bottom of intro).

They're wrong. Better to cut your losses and move on to the next upper division science course.Yea, our pre-med advising office tells us the cutoff is B-, and to retake anything lower unless it's a 1000 level class (bottom of intro).

Someday, someone will write a book that compiles all of the entertaining "advice" given by pre-med advising offices.Yea, our pre-med advising office tells us the cutoff is B-, and to retake anything lower unless it's a 1000 level class (bottom of intro).
