Hi everyone! I am a rising sophomore at a college and am seriously freaking out because of my spring term science course GPA. In the fall, I took intensive Intro Chem and got 3.33 (B-), in the spring, I took two intro bio course (my school splits intro bio to two - organismal and cellular) and got 2.91 (C+) on each. I have a cumulative GPA of 2.83 for my freshman year.
This is scary. I did so HORRIBLY on my intro bio courses! I am no longer sure if I am even qualified to be on premed track anymore. Is there any way I can compensate? Also, I have an issue of not quite being a full citizen (I have permanent residency). In this case, having a bad first year grade would kill my chances, wouldn't it. I mean, having a bad first year grade would really kill in general. ANY WAY I CAN SAVE MYSELF? I am planning on taking orgo chem and histology in the fall. If I do well on these, would it help, or seem like at least I've improved? How much does intro level science courses matter? Please help me. I am too scared to even tell my parents what I got for the spring term because it's so bad. I've never gotten a C in my life. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks!
