I have no idea your chances getting into that program, but how are you studying for A&P? My instructor (A&P2) had a tutor available at least once a week, and she would always set up extra sessions just before a test, like the morning of a test in some cases. We weren't spoon fed the information, but she helped clarify if we didn't understand something. Also, I found that learning bones,nerves, muscles etc. in A&P1 came down to memorization so I practiced them all the time, wrote down the names, looked at illustrations in my books and went to open labs/library to study with the models. I studied more for A&P 1 and 2 than I ever did for my 4000 level courses in a previous Bachelor's degree.

You still have time to bring that grade up if you get some help or change your study habits. I went into a chemistry final with a F and passed the class with a very high C. My school offered tutoring, unfortunately, I had a lab at a different campus when tutoring was available. But that class I had an A and was friends with the instructor so I told him my problem in chemistry and skipped his labs a few times the last couple of weeks to go to tutoring and it really helped my grade. He didn't have a problem with my absences since I had proven I could master the information he was asking me to learn, I arranged it with him in advance and I came to his lectures and asked my questions in office hours if I needed help with something he covered in lab that I missed. He also allowed us to come into his other labs if there was space and use it as an open lab.

Just a helpful hint from someone who has taken the RODP a&p I and II-study the powerpoints. Heavily. Most of the test questions come from there. Hope this helps!

Yep, that's all I studied and made an A & B in I & II.

Good luck
