How much will a C in ten chem hurt me?
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 9:40 am
Hey, I'm a freshman physics major and one of the things I've considered doing after undergrad (assuming I stick with physics) is going to grad school.
As my second semester approaches an end it seems as though I've messed up my Gen Chem Grades, most likely I'm gonna get a C(both a D and B are possible but the latter would be near impossible and I'd like to stay away from the former). I was wondering if this would automatically make it so that there are schools that won't accept me.
What really worries me is that I still have to take a second semester of this stuff, I'd say that I'll try harder (and I will) but I've already been trying pretty hard, not sure what I'm really doing wrong either.
For some context I took 17 hours my first semester and ended up with a 3.8 GPA, I'm taking 17 again this semester and my GPA looks like it will be somewhere between 3.47 to a 3.65 (this is somewhat unlikely)
Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?
