I don’t think anyone has suggested you didn’t work hard. In terms of “skipped rigor” however back in September you received 4 pages of solicited advice that dropping Chem would be perceived by admissions offices as “skipping rigor”. Numerous others across 57 responses urged you not to drop it

Your concluding response that brought the conversation to a close was you were dropping against the consensus advice and “I have enough schools on the list that I have a good probability of making and I have balanced that amount with reaches as well.”

Lots of people warned the OP about dropping the class but the OP insisted that with his 11 matches he had a good chance of success. The real world result disagreed, to which the response is “One thing I cannot accept is that if someone tells me I didn’t try or skipped rigor”. Hmm…

Now the OP wants to apply to med school. Once again informed people will tell the OP what it takes to be a strong candidate but I fear we are in Dunning-Kruger territory here
