<p>Hi guys, so I'm a Bio major (pre-med option) and I just finished my first year of college and I did terrible. I ended up with a 2.4 cumulative GPA and to top it all off I re-took G CHEM(during summer) and achieved the same grade, C-. I need to take it again so that I may move forward with other courses in my major. I am utterly disappointed and upset with myself, I know my GPA is horrible and that taking an intro class 3 times will look highly pathetic to med schools(chem is not my forte but I like it) however, I know I have potential(sadly I haven't demonstrated that through my grades). I have re-evaluated myself as a student and know what I lack, must improve, need to change, and need to keep doing & so I plan that through the several changes I will be making, I will obtain stellar grades from here on out( No C's, & if possible only A's but to be fully realistic perhaps a B or two). I also plan on volunteering at a hospital, doing some research(anything else you guys may suggest), and I will be taking less units this upcoming fall quarter (BIO I, PSYCH, & American Civilizations) and so I'm hoping to achieve straight A's. Do you guys believe I could still possibly have a chance to get accepted into a med-school(perhaps just maybe an ivy league)? or should I start looking into another career path? Quite frankly I am not interested in anything else except for becoming a doctor, I have other interests, however, I don't believe to be as passionate about them as I am about becoming a doctor. I try to be as realistic as I can with myself, goals and possibilities and so I do not want to be oblivious to my situation and continue on with my major if I don't have any chances of making it.</p>
<p>How about nursing or some other field in medicine if you can get your grades up?</p>
<p>I will raise my grades up(no doubt),I haven’t really put much thought into nursing but I have thought about maybe( if not med-school)becoming a dentist?</p>
