I applied to 4 pharmacy schools this year: Univ. MO, Kansas City; Kansas Univ.; St. Louis College of Pharm; and Univ. of CO.
I got into 2 out of 3 so far, and waiting for a response from one more. Of course, I need to get C's in my remaining classes. The problem is this O-chem class. The class avg. is a solid D. The teacher does not believe in curves.
I got a B in O-chem I, and definitely felt challenged. But now, it seems like the teacher is making the class ridiculously hard...namely the tests and homework don't represent the tests.
Two questions:
1.) How many of you took O-chem and had a curve in place, or at least a class average that was passing?
2.) I will have to retake the class this summer obviously. The problem is that I have to also take a microbiology class that I have never taken before also. So, what do you think the chances are of passing two hard-hitting classes over the summer?
I thought the hard part was almost over when I was accepted to multiple programs, but now I don't even know if I'll be able to take advantage of either one...kinda sucks.
