Currently in first year Life Sciences. The program I want to get into for second year is Biochemistry, but one of the requirements was at least C+ in both Chemistry 1A03 and 1AA3. I struggled in first semester and only managed to achieve a C in 1A03 but I'm doing well above the requirement in 1AA3. Will I need to retake 1A03 and get a better grade or is there something else I can do to get into the program?

I'm not sure of the answer, but what I would do is to visit the Science Academic Advisor, explain your situation and they can work it out with you. Alternatively, you might be able to email [email protected]
