Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time posting on SDN. Wanted to just shoot a quick q y'alls way.
I'm currently in a post-bacc program and will be ending the program with all As and 1 B. I know it shouldn't matter, but I can't help but feel that the B is a blemish on my post-bacc academic performance. It's a B in a retake for Ochem I and I honestly have no good reason for that B other than I was working full time (I traveled a lot as an Accounts Head at my prior company) and was participating in an all city basketball league that I may have, ultimately, dedicated way too much time to. For what it's worth, I've aced all my other much more difficult lower div and upper div chemistry courses (Ochem II, Biochem, Organic Synthesis Lab, etc...).
I'm just mostly upset because I was a Chemistry Major in college and graduated with a cGPA of 3.0 (quantum and statistical thermodynamics, etc wrecked me... I also had a hard "C's get degrees" mentality b/c I wasn't Pre-Med per se). I suppose I just feel like this reflects poorly on me... I should have gotten the A if I prioritized my time right, ugh.
Am I beating myself up too hard or is there reason to be concerned? Should I just say **** it, move on? Will I have to explain for this during interviews? And if so, what would be the best way to say "I was a dumb-ass" professionally and thoughtfully haha.
Thanks again for the feedback and input, everyone. Cheers.
