Okay, it sounds like I need to mentally prepare myself to be a second round applicant. I'm planning on taking an easier biochem this January. I'm concerned that I have an F in biochem and I have another biochem class pending and grades won't come out until May. What else did you change for your second round apps? Are you also working FT? If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats? How many schools did you apply to the first time? Second time? Thanks for indulging my questions!

Hey all! First time applicant here and I'm freaking out about this process. Can someone tell me how I can better my application besides doing crisis counseling (which I'm trying to line up) I graduated in biology 2017 with a cumulative GPA 3.5. I did 1 year of research with a professor and TA for physiology. I did the GC internship with Northwestern which is why I decided to apply to GC school. GRE scores 86 V 55Q. Currently, I'm taking biochem and statistics to fulfill prereqs but I'm very likely to get an F in biochem. If I don't get an F, it'll be a D. What should I do about this biochem dilemma? Do most people pass in the first go-round? Btw, I'm applying to LIU Post, Mt. Sinai, Rutgers and Northwestern. Thanks!
