Hi, guys. I need some advice on my GPA in college and status as a premed.
I'm currently a sophomore at Brandeis University. I'm majoring in Neuroscience and Biology with minor in Philosophy.
To get right to the point, I have a 3.2 GPA right now which is very poor. I've been doing poorly in Gen Chem and Orgo Chem. Here's a breakdown of my premed courses' grades
Gen Chem 1: B Gen Chem 2: C
Orgo Chem 1: B Orgo Chem 2: B or B-
Bio 14:B+ Bio 15:A-
Calc: B or B-
I honestly dont really have excuses for my bad grades in chemistry courses. I did really poorly in the second semester of Gen Chem because I overloaded myself with work. Also, I have never been a strong chemistry/math person.
Going to med school has been my dream since high school and now I'm not sure what to do. I still want to go but Im not sure if Im qualified enough. Should I give up my dream?
I'm gonna try really hard and prob even study during summer but I cant make any empty promises to do well in my science classes for the remaining 2 years because its not gonna get any easier.
Please give me some advice guys....
