Hello, So I was a 4.0 bio major for two years, and suddenly during the last semester things started to go down hill. I ended up only taking 12 credit hours, but I still got a D in one of my classes, dropping my gpa to a 3.81. That semester I was diagnosed with depression and general anxiety order. I don't want to make excuses, but I really believe my mental state at the time really prevented me from getting the grade I could have. I decided to make some changes, and I'm switching colleges and want to switch over to a nursing program. The good news is the class was a general elective, and it won't even transfer as anything to the new college. If I continue on with the prereqs and make good grades, will the fact that I failed one class look negative? I'm also afraid that if it comes up, they might think I won't be able to handle the nursing program. Any opinions are appreciated. Thank you!

I'm meeting with an advisor in a few weeks, but both schools I am looking at only require one semester of gen chem.

Hello! So I was originally on a pre-med track. After enrolling for classes this semester, I decided to switch over to a nursing track. I plan on switching schools and applying to their nursing program. The issue is organic chemistry. I'm currently enrolled in it, and not doing so hot. I could probably keep my grade at a C, but I have a 3.95 gpa and I don't want to ruin it. Since organic chem isn't needed for nursing, will it look bad if I drop it? This will be my first withdraw.
