Bad Grade In One Of The Recommended Courses ?

Under recommended courses, it says "Note: As applicants are required to demonstrate their academic ability to determine their suitability for the rigorous MD curriculum, taking the Credit/D/Fail option for required and strongly recommended courses may not be a helpful indicator in the selection process and could potentially jeopardize your application to the program"

But I screwed up and ended up getting a D+ in Organic chemistry 2. Am I screwed for UBC?

Don't worry about it.

 

Just do well in the rest of your classes.

Not screwed, but they may or may not take it under consideration during the holistic review process.

OP, if it makes you feel better, I know someone who got a D in Organic Chemistry 2 and got in this past cycle! (They also got an A in biochem the next year, so maybe that helped with the "holistic review")

Hey OP, I don't think one bad grade is gonna sink you. It seems like UBC is good at looking at the whole picture when calculating for admissions
