oliviakeegan Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have completed my B.S. in Biochemistry with 2000 hours of HCE and a 3.5 GPA from a very respected state school. However, I received a C- in General Chemistry II class. Will I still be able to get into a school with this C- in gen chem? Some schools' websites do not specify that you need a C or better in Gen Chem to apply, however some obviously do. So could I apply to the ones who do not specify C or better and have a chance of getting in? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev9901 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well, it costs to apply to schools in CASPA so I would start by contacting the schools that you are interested in and find out who will allow a C-. My suspicion is that most will not allow a C- for pre-req's. If Chem II is a pre-req to the school(s) you want to attend you may have to retake it. If its not a pre-req then you should be okay based on your GPA. Just be ready in case you're asked about it in an interview. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dndandrea Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I would retake the class. I got a C in general chemistry 1, general biology 1, and general biology 2 so i'll be retaking those. I got an A in all of my other pre reqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latina PA Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Retake the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torshi Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would retake. Some schools don't accept anything lower than a B-. Just check with the schools. I retook ochem 2 because I received a C-, given it's not a pre-req, I always as a rule of thumb retook any course with a C-. That was my only lowest grade throughout college, retook and got a B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
