Hi, I was wondering if it would affect my chances of being accepted into pharm school if I took Orgo 1 and 2 in the summer, then the lab in fall. Also I got a B in gen chem 1 but a A in the lab, are B's bad? I am really freaking out

If anything it may even help you to take them in the summer as it is a heavier workload (same material compressed into a shorter time) as long as you did well in the course. Would you be taking full-time courses during the summer or just the o-chem? B's aren't bad.. it's more of how it fits into your overall GPA. It's not as if they say "OMG look they got a 'B', *DENIED*." It would be more like, look they only got B's (= a 3.0 GPA) which is sub-par in terms of looking competitive, but far from completely damming to your ability to get into the school of your choice.

I am only taking O-chem and english 102 in the summer, The reason being is so that I am planning to take the PCATs beginning of 2014, so I would like to learn the material before hand.
