Hi all,
I just finished my semester while working full time as a non-traditional, chronically ill student. I am studying for the MCAT again at the same time and I got a B in Physics II today with an A in Physics II Lab. I am feeling so discouraged as my pre-reqs read as such now. Some of the biggest upsides in my application is I have over 2k clinical hours, research, and volunteering but I am worried my grades in the pre-reqs will overshadow that.
Gen Chem 1 - B
Gen Chem 1L - B
Gen Chem 2 - B
Gen Chem 2L - A
Bio 1 - A
Bio 1L - A
Bio 2 - A
Bio 2L - A
Orgo 1/1L (combined course yet on transcript it reads as two separate courses) - C
Orgo 2 - A
Orgo 2L - IP (praying for an A)
Biochemistry - B
Physics 1 - B
Physics 1L - A
Physics 2 - B
Physics 2L - A
No repeats or withdrawals for the pre-reqs. no repeats in general. Feeling pretty defeated with my pre-reqs as I’ve worked so hard. Are these grades okay for pre-reqs? Maybe I am just being harsh on myself but seeing as the GPA averages just keep going up, I’m below the average. I believe I have a 3.4-3.5 sGPA.
Trying to apply this cycle. May just need to hear some honesty outside of my own head because I frankly don’t know enough about this process. Trying to learn.
Thank you all!
