Hey All,

In Fall of 2008, I got a C- in Elementary Microbiology.

As of now, my schedule won't permit me to re-take the course. Seeing as how this coourse isn't a pre-req for the majority of schools, how much do you think will hurt me?

sGPA sitting at 3.2 with a cGPA of 3.5.

Thoughts?
 
That was a long time ago. As long as you have had an upward trend then you shouldn't worry too much about it. Your sGPA would obviously be better if you were somehow able to retake it in the future but you say that's not currently a possibility. 3.2 sGPA is pretty low, but you can still work with it since your cGPA is 3.5

Got it--thank you!

Edit: Also--best of luck during your first year!
