I'd honestly switch career paths at this point. A couple of A minuses are fine but a C is career suicide. ...............kidding. You'll be fine just don't make it a habit.
will getting a C decrease school options? I was on Meharry Medical college's website which says '..it is strongly advised that most of your prerequisite courses be completed, with no grade lower than a B-...'. I know it is 'strongly advised' but do you guys know of any school which doesn't accept grades lower than B-? Just curious!
It's obviously better to get a higher score, but you should still have second semester of Gen. Chem. coming up. Spend your break preparing for it and do very well in it. There's all sorts of free courses online nowadays. Go to Coursera.org or similar and master Gen. Chem 1 and 2 material. It'll be easy to explain that you made mistakes your first semester and were able to improve afterwards.
