I have been taking gen chem 2 and ap1 in the same summer semester but the work was too overwhelming;so I had to drop chem 2. My question is because of my initial problems with work for both class should I drop ap1 as well if my grade is in the C range???

It depends on how many bad grades you have so far. If you think you can get better than a C later on, then i guess you can drop and re-take it. A C is still acceptable for credit to pharmacy school. However, if you already have a bunch of classes taken, a C will not move your gpa that much.. so it all depends on what your gpa and stats are now.

I have a bachelors degree with a 2.85 which isnt great i know I messed up a few semesters.. Had some personal issues and wasn't able to focus on school too much. But I still need to take all my sciences and I hope to apply for fall 2010 if all will be well..Anymore advice?? Getting a "C" would lower my gpa but the class ends next thursday and I think its too late to withdraw

If you don't have alot of units under your belt, a C can hurt your gpa alot. If yuo have alot of units done already, a C probably won't hurt your gpa. I personally would withdraw rather than get a C, because mainly its very time consuming to retake it later for such a low gpa boost if you decide to take the C.

Calculate your gpa w/ the C and without the C, and make a decision based on that.

P.S. stop getting C's, if you get too many C's, it will be extremely difficult to make up for them in the long run.

Technically, you shouldn't get less than a B but if you really have to get a C then try not to get that C more than twice.🙂

A single C won't be the kiss of death to your application, just make a few As in other pre-reqs and that should cancel the worst of the effects on your GPA (for the most part)

Well said.
