So I literally don’t know what to do with my career I currently have a overall 2.5 gpa and a 1.8 gpa in my bio major and I’m a junior and I’m currently taking this spring semester off for mental health. So yea this is like a mess. I think getting a 3.0 gpa is achievable if I just get an A in every class. I want to be a pathologist assistant or a physician’s assistant (whichever grad school will accept me). The issue is that I have two C- 's and core science classes and all grad school’s i’ve looked at accept at least a minimum C. Sooooo basically idk to do because I’m sure I can’t take those courses over again, and idk what other career I can obtain if I get that 3.0 gpa. So help.
The most important thing for you now is to get better and then do as well as you can when you return. With a 1.8 GPA in your major, it will be difficult to get into a graduate program. You will be better off focusing on what you can do for a career after you complete your BS. After some work experience, you may be able to have an opprotunity to enter a Masters program.

Complete your BS Degree and then go get a Vo-Tech certificate or AA degree in something useful?
Return to college after graduation for a more marketable bachelor’s degree than biology?
A few bad grades at a young age shouldn’t ruin your life, but then maybe that’s the world we are living in now?
