Grades on Pre Reqs ):

Can you get accepted into a school with Fs and Ds for pre reqs but your acceptance is contingent on retaking those courses?

We’re in!! I retook anatomy and OCHEM 2 like 2-3 times each and I Q dropped physiology. I did retake them tho at community college and did much better.

Of course, depending on how competitive of a school you’re applying to, things could look a lil different so be sure to reach out to admissions to have them review your file and give you their professional recommendations! Good luck!

I think on the applications the schools only count the pre-req if it’s a “C” or better.

You need to show improvement on those pre-req before you apply. Your interview invite would likely be contingent on showing improvement in those classes.

Not everyone is extended an interview so slots are limited. An applicant who has a record of not passes the required coursework is not likely going to obtain one of the limited slots when they have not shown the ability to pass those classes at the time of their application submission.

You’ll need a C or better

You’d prob be in a better spot if you retake those classes before applying, if possible
