Will 2 C's kill my chances?

I got my first C in Orgo II last semester, and this semester it's looking like I'm going to get a C in physical chemistry as well (this class is killing me). :/ Overall GPA after this semester will be around 3.7. Any help? Thanks!

No

No two C's won't kill you. You MAY have to explain but if it's above 3.7 you're fine.

I had 2 Cs on my transcript and I'm a current MS1. It'll be a mark but not an insurmountable one, you got this.

Also I feel you on Pchem. That class was like jumping through a mental meat grinder.

You'll be fine. Do better in Biochem.

I have 3 C's in math/sci courses 😛
But never discouraged...

No. I have two Cs. They probably killed my chances at top 20, but not my hope to be a doctor.

Keep working if medicine is your dream. I wish you the best!

No. Not at all.

I don't think even a single F will keep you out.

Ye there is a girl I know who has like multiple D's and F's and she's still trying 🙂

I had 2 C's in basic science classes to go along with a 3.29 sGPA and I have 3 acceptances so far, 2 MD and 1 DO. Just a positive anecdote for some moral support. Don't make it a habit and you will be fine.

You will be fine! I got a C in Gen Chem II (really bad teacher, plus I was a bit lazy with regards to study habits my freshman year) and one in Organic Chemistry I, but I've had a few interviews thus far. Just be sure that getting a C is a rarity, and try to do well in your other upper levels such as Biochemistry to show that you can handle the tougher biomedical courses. Good luck!
