A B- worth transferring?

Graduate School
1

<p>I'm a Biomedical Engineer who happens to be required to take organic chemistry, which I'm not thrilled about. So I decided to take and get the credits transferred to my university over this summer. So far, I have a B- in the class. I hope to raise it but in the worst-case scenario should I transfer the credits? I know that it won't touch my GPA but graduate schools will still see this lone B- on a transcript so will it stand out and hurt my chances? I have a 3.4 cum GPA and a 3.7 major GPA btw. </p>

<p>If it helps, I'm taking the course at Rutgers.</p>

<p>I can also easily take the organic chemistry course at my university my senior year and hopefully get an A but to be honest, I’d like to get it out of the way and I’ve already paid money for the summer course.</p>

<p>And will I still have to send the transcript from Rutgers for organic chemistry anyways to graduate school? In that case, it would be pretty dumb to not send in your grade if you have a C or above.</p>

<p>One B- will not hurt you at all. Two B- will still not hurt your application, But 3, 4, 5, 6, B- in your major classes will hurt you. A consistent low performance will hurt you.</p>

<p>Don’t worry for now, and just forcus on your summer class. Try your best to do well. Go to tutoring; find online resources to help you master the class, etc.</p>

<p>Transferring? Don’t transfer just because you have one B-. Transferring often means losing some credits!</p>

<p>I meant transferring credits. I have the option to send the Rutgers transcript to my University and get the credits for the class. Thanks for the help though. </p>

<p>And can someone let me know if I still have to send my Rutgers transcript in for this one class, even if I don’t transfer the credits to my school.</p>

<p>For graduate school?
From what I remember, here:

<p>If the credits are transferable I’d pass the course with a good grade and get over with it. I am also looking for advice but I remember these posts so I can helping out… I mean I don’t like repeating myself a million time either so it’s good that someone provide a related thread.</p>

<p>All programs know that organic chemistry can be a killer. It won’t affect your chances provided that your other grades in advanced courses are high. I’d let it be, especially since there’s no guarantee that you’ll get a higher grade if you take it again.</p>
