biochem4 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi all, I retook a course that I got a W from last year. I got D+ on it. Is this better than getting a W for the second time? This is a pre-req for most US schools and some CA, should I retake it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruh Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 You should have dropped the course before getting that D+. It will hurt you for US schools for sure. Most US schools (MD and DO) require at least a C in prerequisite courses, and the consensus is that anything below a C should be repeated. Also, If the prereq is for Ottawa, a minimum grade of B is required, so you would be ineligible to apply there. Retaking again and getting an A in it will be the best course of action.

That's even worse than just getting a W (Which in most cases no one bats an eye at) Always take the W rather than get a very low GPA. - G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biochem4 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 If I did, I would have had a second W in that course which I found more devastating(?) :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
