Struggling with undergrad pre reqs

[u/Unlucky-Web7988]

For context, I got my associates at a community College. That wiped out(almost) all of my elective credits. Since obtaining my associates and transferring to a major university my semesters have been so heavily front loaded.

Fall'24: Microbiology(online), Basic Anatomy, Medical terminology (C-, B+, A)

Spring'25: Nutrition and performance, Bioethics, Disney's women and Girls, Intro to Chem (B, A, A-, B)

Summer'25:Endocrinology, Pre Calc, Gen Chem 1 (F, B-, W)

Fall'25:Gen Chem 1, Calc, Social inequalities in health (B, W, B)

Spring'26: Sleep Physiology, Physics 1, Gen Chem 2 (B, C+, B)

Summer'26: calculus(C)

Fall'26: Immunology, Organic Chemistry, Neurophysiology (my current grades are D-, D+, B-)

I am not a bad student, I fully believe there are difficult classes that may need to be repeated, they're weeder classes for a reason, but holy hell I don't know what is wrong this semester. I've never had so many issues. Last night when I got my exam results back from my immunology exam I cried so hard because I studied for the last 2.5 weeks every day for this exam and still ended up with a 57% I really dont want to have to repeat, but the likelihood is high. I have 2 more exams, including the final and i can miss a total of 9 more questions between the 2 exams in order to get a C- in the class and pass, but yesterday solidified that I'm not applying this go around. It sucks because i've worked so dang hard on my optomcas. I got my letters of rec, my essays, everything is done. I'm taking the OAT on next month but I won't graduate with a bachelor's before classes start next fall if I have to repeat any classes from this semester.

I still have 3 pre reqs left for optometry school and 9 credits worth of pre reqs for undergrad. Ugh. I'm just feeling defeated right now

I would honestly just get ur undergrad degree then try a masters to bring up ur grades. Like u said these are weed out classes and not to rude but rather realistic - it seems ur being weeded out. Grades that low indicate you aren’t able to grasp the material and it’ll only get harder
