It is ok if I get "B" in biochem and "B-" in genetics as my only two upper division science classes? Will adcoms thinks that I will have a hard time handling the rigor of medical school classes because of the poor grades on these classes? I cant withdraw anymore from these classes since it too late. My gosh! Genetics is killing me...

Both classes are hard but a B is honestly not too bad. However, you definitely want to take some more upper division Science classes and get an A in them.

I am not taking any more upper division science classes... I think my sGPA is not that bad for DO schools (3.3+). You dont think I have a shot with a 27+ mcat.
