<p>Hello I am new to this site, this is my first time posting. I am a biochemistry major (pre medical.) I am searching for a way to count the C’s out of my GPA as well and Im having a hard time finding anything, I am guessing there is nothing that can be done except for something along the lines of an Academic renewal, which would mean years of work gone. </p>
<p>My story is that I had a very rough childhood, everything from domestic violence to a lot of other things in life that have affected me later as a person once I had gone into community college. Later being diagnosed bipolar-depressive as well which interferes with how I handle school.
I have a passion for medicine and I am pretty smart, I can do extremely well and be the go to person one semester and be depressed another and loose all interest. I am getting treatment now and am no longer dealing with this as much.</p>
<p>That isnt the point of this, all in all the point is that I have quite a few C’s on my transcript that now reflect poorly on me and it stresses me out because from that point forward I have been getting A’s and B’s but the C’s are a permanent mark.</p>
<p>getting a 4.0 in a CC can be difficult too, I have friends who have come from other Unis to my CA CC and they say that the classes here are much harder. It depends on the state tremendously and the CC. After calculating my predicted GPA I will only be able to have a 3.2 once I am done unless I take on more science classes to improve it.</p>
<p>It sucks. It does. Makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and say that I quit but my passion drives me, and my CV (Lifes work) I am not going to lie is amazing, I have a large number of surgical internships, and leaderships, national organizations, work experience, recommendation letters including one from the Math and Science Dean and many other great things on the CV, but my transcript really brings down my application.</p>
<p>I replied to this person above or below (however this works) just to show that life is an excuse for getting C’s. There are a lot of brilliant people out there who will get C’s many have learning disabilities and many excuses.
Also Economics is really not that bad compared to people who have to take the very top upper division Calc classes throughout all the years as well as all the science courses liek Physics series, Chemistry series, Organic Chem series, Microbio, Bio series, Physiology, Anatomy, Trig, Calc series, along with the easier classes from gen ed. such as econ, communications blah blah. Compare a person taking hardcore classes like that to a person that is majoring in something perhaps that is not as difficult.</p>
