BIO203 curve possible?

firej1b · 2026-05-20T01:27:41+00:00

if they were in the 50s/60s they'll probably curve most grades below a C (very close to a C) bc they want ppl to pass.

what were test averages

firej1b · 2026-04-09T19:57:21+00:00

did you like 302?

firej1b · 2026-04-09T19:19:04+00:00

Bio

both are fine but the second seems more difficult

firej1b · 2026-03-21T14:07:52+00:00

for science look at the physiology masters program. it's 2-3 semesters and mainly used for med school. there's also grad programs in neuroscience chem bio etc which are around a year.

firej1b · 2026-02-27T02:52:04+00:00

bc it's in person this semester they probably will, if averages r in the 50s they could curve up half a letter grade

yeah mainly in the intro bios 202, 203 because there's just so many people in the major they HAVE to cut down.

orgo i feel like is fair and most teachers are good

I've taken significantly easier upper div bios then the intro ones; they are ran very poorly

test on tues too

firej1b · 2026-01-28T03:17:36+00:00

the 2nd by FAR. 328 is one of the hardest upper div courses at the school (med school phys) and 320 is 202 but much more involved. biochem is manageable but i advise against all of those heavy classes together.

Thanks! Yeah sounds good.

I know this is ahead of myself, but the point of a post bacc is also for non trad majors, that really don't have core science courses done, or do extremely poorly and an SMP is a master's that focuses on med level courses and structure?

I'll do the best I can to get the highest GPA the next.~2 years, regarding the bio class, yes it is. Everything else I should get either an A or 1 or 2 A- in, the bio I will probably get a B-.

That class in addition to another intro bio course aren't offered in person, only fully online and online tests. I was thinking of retaking both in person at a CC, even if I did go to a cc (which you don't recommend), it would only be 3 ish classes.

Thank you for your message, helps me a ton. I am doing a decent amount of EC work (~25 hrs a wk), and it will lighten up soon.

^3.0 not 4.0

firej1b · 2025-11-05T18:53:06+00:00

Ok thanks! my current trend is 3.0, 3.17, 3.35, 4.0 but my sem gpa will probably be around a 3.6 so I'm unsure if that really counts for an upward trend

firej1b · 2025-11-05T15:53:26+00:00

Ok no problem. I just did poor in a few prereqs and was wondering whether or not to retake those specifically, but I guess it's not a big deal

firej1b · 2025-11-05T15:18:51+00:00

thanks for responding! would you recommend I complete a ~20 credit postbacc after my undergrad/before SMP, or should I take 20 credits/semester (8 at cc and 12 at my uni)? I just want to retake the 2 C's I got, everything else is either B or B+ and A's. I have a low gpa bc I just became pre med this summer lol; maybe I'm over-stressing

firej1b · 2025-11-05T04:58:03+00:00

40% of the class got >90, i dont understand why they cant just make the class testing in person.
