I recieved a C in ochem1, then a B in ochem2. I want to apply to pharm school eventually. Should I retake ochem1 to get rid of that C? The U of Arizona says they require no grades lower than a B in ochem, so I assume I would have to for that school... What about others?

For the others you'd have to look it up to see if it says on their websites.

If you retake Orgo 1, then you won't have to worry about it for the other schools.
 
My question is sort of similar. Should I retake the classes I got Cs in or finish my Bio bachelors degree (1 year left) and raise my science GPA using the classes I have left?

I'd say it depends heavily on which classes and how many of them you got C's in. If it's only a couple of classes that you got C's in, I wouldn't bother. Really though, unless you have tons of C's, finishing your degree is probably your best bet.
 
if they're just C's, I'd recommend finishing your degree

I got a C in ochem 1 (followed by B+ in ochem 2 and taking ochem 3 right now), Calc 2 (but then I got an A in Calc 3) and two Cs in Intro to general chem and general chem 1.

I really effed up during my first two years of community college :scared: but I'm showing a really good upward trend for the last two years (including this one)
