Did you do well in school or college?

I had a 2.78 average coming out of high school. The minimum for the state college was 2.0. I did a year in college making A’s while half time, but dropped down to C’s full time. I dropped out and went to work.

i actually failed general chemistry 121 three times before i passed it the fourth time with a c. I also failed o chem once and calculus once. But I never gave up and found what works for me and never gave up on my goals sz or not

Yeah, college chemistry is tough. I took a four credit hour class that was only four weeks long.

Congratulations on getting your MD!! :+1:

I finally completed precalculus. Got a C+! I would of prob got like 80% but my 2 month hypomania royally screwed up my progress and had to take the final without much grasp on trigonometry and it was worth 40% of the grade so I took a hit there. But I’m super proud I did it.
I barely knew grade 4 math when I started on my journey of learning math from scratch.
It was part of my journey with working on improving my mental health too

I did calculus in college, my average was above 95% and I got invited to math competitions by my teacher. Organic chemistry I finished with 98%, got 99% in the final. In university physiotherapy my avg GPA was 3.8. All that was before my sz. After sz I did the rest of university and got my degree with a 3.1 GPA avg, 4 GPA in physiology, neuroscience, biomechanics and psychology.

That was a sad state of affairs. We’ve had the same thing in the UK with remote learning ,due to Covid. That put bright children and teenagers from less affluent backgrounds at a serious disadvantage.

There was one class in my journalism major I couldn’t get above a C and I took that class twice.

Funnily my organic chemistry teacher was shocked when I asked to see my exam. He said you got 99% and you want to know what that 1% was?
I am too perfectionist.

Oh really? Journalism was ok. That’s what I thought I wanted to do but I was more interested in learning languages. I took Spanish and Japanese in college.
