Hi, guys. I am just worried about my future now based on my 1st semester relllly sucks, I think my course will be end with 6 or 7 out of 12 scale. Just want to know, does it has negative affect for my upper year,even when find job. I am worried, any advice ?

Advice? Chill. 6-7 is so not the end of the world. And even if it were, you have 7 more semesters to make up for it.

Further, I don't think grades matter as much in finding a job as you might think. It's really all about your experience and your actual skills.

So my advice is do your best now, figure out how you can improve and do it. The hole you're in isn't nearly as big as the one I've seen people dig for themselves in first year.

What program are u in? And thats "ok" you can definetly pull it up by end of term

non-medical jobs?
not a problem.

It depends on if you're applying to a second year program that has specific mark requirements for certain courses. Ex., PNB requires at least a 7 in each psych course.

Thanks for help guys. I am in first year Science program.

a 6 or 7 in one course will not decide a single thing in your life.

A 6-7 is NOT the end of the world, that too in your first semester of university. Everyone's marks tend to drop during the first semester, so don't worry you're definitely not alone. I actually got a 7 in the first semester chem course because it was so overwhelming for me, but by the time I finished chem 1aa3 my final mark went up 3 whole grade points. So don't worry!!

what. the only medical job you would have trouble getting with all 6s is being a doctor. 99% of other medical related jobs you could still get. even with all 6s you could still get in a med school somewhere far away from canada.
