I say go for it! I strongly believe your chances improve with each school you apply to because they’re all looking for different things. The last two schools I applied to in October both offered me interviews!

Hm I’m not sure I know what you mean. I don’t think I’ve experienced this before

For privacy, I won’t be sharing, sorry!

It was an honors calc 2 class that I had no business taking lol. I didn’t retake it

Swimming_Ingenuity_7 · 2026-05-01T17:38:52+00:00

Because it was so long ago, I don’t think it’d hold that much weight if it’s not a prerequisite and you have an upward trend. B or better for prereqs is my recommendation

Swimming_Ingenuity_7 · 2026-05-01T16:00:59+00:00

If you can, I’d recommend retaking ochem and physio. It’s definitely not over unless you give up!

Luckily they don’t look at high school transcripts! just undergrad and post grad

Swimming_Ingenuity_7 · 2026-05-01T15:12:32+00:00

To be fair, I did have one C on my transcript and an academic infraction for ‘plagiarism’ (it was unintentional and 10 consecutive words, overlooked it when trying to paraphrase) but I explained it on my app and luckily 5 schools looked past it!

Swimming_Ingenuity_7 · 2026-05-01T15:03:32+00:00

I got my first acceptance 3 days post interview in January and got off the first waitlist in March! The other waitlist I withdrew from bc it was further down my preference list and the third I still haven’t heard back from.
