need some information regarding importance of certain course

[Guest Antieli]

Hi

I just completed my first year with a GPA of 3.9

I had 5 marks that were over 90's.

 

My problem is my biology mark (term2). It was in the high 60's. My term 1 biology mark was an 80%.

It is a prerequisite for Med. School.

 

Now, the term 2 mark is horrible. Should I retake the biology course, or just leave it be and focus on the upper year courses?

My goal is Med. School.

I have had tremendous amounts of volunteer experience as well.

 

Do I remotely stand a chance, or will they try to disqualify me based up that one low mark?

I am stressing out a lot because of that mark.

 

Please any information would be very helpful.

 

Thank you.

so the 3.9 already includes the bad bio mark? I don't think you should retake it, but if I were you I would try to find out why I got such a low mark and make sure it doesn't happen next year with biology-related courses like genetics or upper year stuff like physiology or anatomy etc.
