A B, no a C in chem. Am I done

<p>So I've been screwing up my first quarter of chemistry in college.
I apparently bombed a chem test that I thought I had done well on. I'm pretty sure I made a bunch of ridiculous mistakes on the exam. Like I did on my first lab. So both scores are below the average line, but I know I'm not below average. But say I do end up with a C or a B for chem this quarter, have I already significantly reduced my chances for med school in the first three weeks of school? I could do better next time, but I've already lost those points and a bunch of kids now have the edge over me. I'm always told that every point matters for pre-meds because all the competition and crap.</p>

<p>So what now. I'm so frustrated.</p>

<p>You're not "done."</p>

<p>Relax! It's one test!<br>
Study your mistakes and learn from 'em. </p>

<p>I'm sorry, I gotta laugh at the uber-competitiveness in pre-med students...At Cal, we had students pulling fire alarms midway thru Organic Chemistry exams...LOL! </p>

<p>If you continue to struggle, switch to engineering...it's not as competitive and students actually help each other.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>It's weird how there are a million of these exact same threads. The funny think is that I think people no better but post just to vent.</p>
