Hi! This is gonna be a bit of a long read but I’m feeling super discouraged and could use some advice/words of encouragement! If you’re gonna say something negative or mean please don’t comment at all!!!

Idk what happened this semester, I started off in such a slouch, and I bombed my first two midterms for my classes. I was able to bring myself back in my classes but it still really hurt my grades since they’re all exam dependent, so I’m ending up with a C+ in human parasitology, C in microbio, and either a C or a D in gen chem 2 (final grades haven’t been posted yet but I’m .6 away from a C, but they don’t round up apparently) and it’s already my second time taking the class because I got a D the first time. I technically got an F from a community college but it was such BS because the prof failed me for my lab kit delivery getting delayed and not being able to do the lab assignments, which is a whole other story, but that also weighs my gpa down a ton. So that obviously kills any sort of upward trend I had, but also, I just finished taking separate classes from another online school separate from my full time school, and I got an A in all of them so I guess that kinda builds an upward trend again. The classes are genetics, biochem, orgo 1 and 2 with lab, A&P 1 and 2, and a human bio/nutrition class. I’m also gonna retake chem 2 (for the fourth time now..) if I get a D in the class.

So that leaves my current stats at:

Cgpa: 3.25
Sgpa: 3.05

1300 paid hours PCE (EMT)
5000 volunteer hours PCE (FTO EMT)

2120 hours leadership (cadet advisor for my ems agency, lieutenant at my ems agency - both volunteer)

50 hours of teaching cpr (volunteer) (I’m an AHA BLS instructor)
720 of teaching cadets (volunteer)

500 hours HCE (receptionist)

500 hours non-healthcare employment

25 hours non-healthcare volunteer (organizing a blood drive)

12 hours shadowing PA (ortho)

LORs: Professor, EM DO (who is a PA program medical director himself), PA I shadowed, and EMS chief who’s known me for 6 years

With all my other stats is it still even worth it for me to apply? Like do I have a chance or am I just wasting my money. If you have anything nice, encouraging, or helpful in the slightest to say, please lmk 😊

After the final grades were put in I’m at a 54.4 for gen chem 2 and I need a 55 to pass the class. This is already my second time taking the class (I got a D the first time) and I won’t be able to apply to grad schools if I don’t get a C (which I’m already done with my applications for and was just waiting on my final grades for this semester to be posted)

I’m majorly panicking and looking for any sort of consolidation or advice or anything idk 🫠🫠😭😭😭 someone please gaslight me into thinking that they’ll round up

how do i pass the gen chem 2 acs final exam with like a 60 as someone who is genuinely awful at chemistry (my midterm avg is a 34.6%). they removed grade replacement and dont curve so there is no hope there. i just want to pass with a C

HELP!
