I made a C in chem 1406! What grades do I need to make in my other classes?

[Showdee]

To get into my program I need at least a 2.75 GPA in

chem 1406 and A&P 1 & 2. I made a C in chem. Obviously, I hope to make an A in my other courses but at what minimum would my grade need to be in my next 2 classes? Or will I need to retake the chem?

Assuming these are 4 hour courses --- If you were to make a B in both A&P 1&2 then you would have a 2.67 GPA.. If you make a B in one and an A in the other then you would have 3.0 gpa. and A in both A&P 1&2 would give you a 3.33 gpa.

Hello. Do not aim for the minimum... aim for an "A"!

Just know that the minimum isn't always good enough to be accepted. My program has a 3.0 minimum but the average accepted GPA for my cohort was 3.77.

Even if you end up getting a 2.75 GPA doesn't mean you will get accepted. All schools have a cut off GPA, but depending on how many people apply and what their GPAs are, that's what is going to determine your acceptance.

If I were you, I would retake Chem. A "C" is not competitive at all.
