<p>The Course was Principles of Biology 3-Organismal Biology. I had a lot of external/family circumstances that I wont get into but this semester was definitely my roughest. If there was ever a test on my determination to become a PA I believe it was this semester. I had such a hard time finding time to study and I ended up with a D+ in this biology class that I hated. There were 3 different professors teaching it and there was no textbook to go off of you just had to listen to there slides. It was so vague and I just didn't take to it at all. I really did try I got an A+in organic chem 1 and a B in organic chem 2 this semester so I keep telling myself its no just my own stupidity but I'm just really down and upset with myself and also worried about my future. I think I'll end up with a 2.7 this semester and my plan is to retake the course because I believe I have to for my major and explain this horrible semester in my interview/application. I also plan to take and EMT course this summer to get volunteer hours in for PA school. I guess my question is is this detrimental or recoverable? I am always curious how other people in pursuit of their medical career are doing and any advice that you guys could give would be much appreciated.
much thanks,

<p>I think you should be fine as long as you explain it in a way that doesnt sound like you aren’t taking responsibility. If it’s only one class, you should be okay.</p>
<p>Ok I freak myself out with this stuff sometimes. I know I will do better though. Thanks for the input.</p>
