<p>So far, I’ve gotten an A in Calculus II and Physics I. I’ve gotten an A- in General Chemistry, Calculus I, and some other engineering courses and their labs. However, I’ve gotten an F in Linear Algebra which.</p>
<p>I’m majoring in Biomedical Engineering Linear algebra was the only class I had severe trouble with what with the heavily theoretical content.</p>
<p>Am I screwed?</p>
<p>The problem I had is that I also struggled with courses that are heavily theoretical but teach little real world applicability to either engineering or medicine. Because of that, I struggled very much to content the information and memorize the plethora of theorems and definitions. </p>
<p>The textbook, which was written by one of the professors and printed and spirally bound is not available to any students except those taking that particular course and that is fortunate. The textbook was dreadful. After each section full of definitions and theorems, there were problems which barely resembled the content in the previous sections. This resulted in the problem in not being able to effectively see how theorems would be used in problems.</p>
<p>This is the last time I take an upper level mathematics not required of my major.</p>
<p>I will let others answer your question about chances. One thing is evident and that may hurt you. You are letting yourself pick and choose where you put your efforts. Cannot afford doing that if thinking about Med. School. There will be periods when you will have to perform your best and with the smile on your face while you absolutely hate everything that you do and your surroundings. Cannot love everything, but absolutely have to try your best in everything, love it or hate it, no exuses. Keep it in mind for the future.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. I’ll be sure to keep it in mind in the future. Luckily, I’m just a freshman so I have plenty of time to improve.</p>
