<p>I have had two semesters of General biology with a C in both semesters. chem-A and stat.-math</p>
<p>im a pysch and spanish major....</p>
<p>obviously this is major as far as med school goes...but is it enough for chances to be shot completely?</p>
<p>I would take a higher level biology class just to prove you can do it. (e.g genetics, microbiology, botany, evolution, cell biology, etc)</p>
<p>There's very little you can do to make yourself 100% dead in the water in just two strokes.</p>
<p>For example, you could have straight C's your freshman year, but if you somehow manage to stumble into an amazing scientific discovery and win a Nobel, nobody will care about the C's.</p>
<p>Is this ridiculous? Of course. But my point is to explain to you that your question, as phrased, is almost always going to be answered, "No, you're not 100% dead yet." Because... well, you almost never are.</p>
<p>ok thanks for the responses. i have two upper level bio classes left to take so hopefully ill do well.</p>
<p>bluedevilmike, would you say that my chances are greatly decreased now?</p>
<p>... "greatly"? It sounds like you want me to quantify a highly subjective process. Obviously it's a bad thing, right?</p>
<p>I would stop worrying about those C's and try to do really well in your next biology courses. What's done is done.</p>
<p>I think many medical schools would view your MCAT results (in the specific subject you got C's on) to see if you really understood the material. If the MCAT score is good, I would think the C's would be overlooked to some degree. Whatever the case, it is important to leave it behind you and move on. Keep perservering and don't give up.</p>

<p>This is certainly true, but the "to some degree" is key. Even a 15 isn't going to erase the C's. But there's no question that the BS section on the MCAT is considerably more important for you now than it was previously.</p>
<p>Exactly. </p>
<p>The C's will probably be "less forgiving" at top notch medical schools since they have their pick of the litter. However, I don't feel it's a deal breaker for esperame. :)</p>
<p>thanks for all of the help!</p>
