This is my third semester and I screwed up. I got 2 D's. One in my bio lab and another in Calc. Before this semester I had a 3.0. How much will this hurt my chances?

To be honest I do not want to retake calculus again. I hate math in general. I know that I can pass the lab for sure the second time. If I raise my GPA, but don't take calc will i still get into pharm school?
 
The schools I looked into all required calculus. I think you would have to re-take the course to even consider most pharmacy programs.

You must retake and raise your grades up cause the majority of schools have a cutoff grade of a C, no lower than that. Additionally, you have to get more than a 3.0 GPA in order to apply and compete with others.
