<p>Long story short, I was very sick during my Freshman year finals week and accidentally slept through my General Chemistry final which gave me a grade of a 1.5 in the class. Should I bother retaking the class, or will it not matter much because it was my Freshman year.</p>
<p>Freshman classes matter only in their contribution to your final GPA. No one will care about the class specifically, even if you are going for chemistry. Get/keep a high overall GPA and make sure that you have A’s in whatever subject you eventually want to go to grad school.</p>
