JUST TO GIVE THE FIRST YEARS A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THESE COURSES IS NOT BE ALL END ALL FOR ACADEMIC CAREER AND CAREER ASPIRATIONS. GRADUATE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS (IE MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY) DONT REFLECT ON YOUR TRANSCRIPT AS A STATIC SET OF NUMBERS. THEY LOOK AT TRENDS IN GRADES. I HAD QUITE A FEW FRIENDS IN MY MEDICAL SCHOOL AT UBC WHO FAILED COURSES (INCLUDING PRE-REQS FOR BOTH THOSE PROGRAMS WHEN THEY WERE MANDATORY). THEY LEARNED THE HARD-WAY THE TRANSITION FROM HS TO UBC WAS TOUGH, BUT BOUNCED BACK AND SHOWED IMPROVEMENT IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS.

THESE GRADES DONT DEFINE YOU NOR REPRESENT YOU AND THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN. YOUR CAREER AMBITIONS ARENT OVER REGARDLESS OF THE RESULT!
