Do I need high school chemistry for pre med?

“I don’t care if I may start off at a disadvantage I try to work as hard as I can . So in reality as long as I’m learning I dont really care what college I go to.”

You are missing that “starting off at a disadvantage” likely means no NYU and possibly limited other choices. As said, you need to focus on what colleges you can get into, first. And then, it won’t mattr how hard you like to learn As said, many colleges fiercely weed out kids without the strengths in bio and chem to succeed in those courses in first year. It’s not adding a few hours of study. It’s brutal and aimed at only taking the best of their best through the 4 year premed track, then recomending them to med schools.

I agree with others that you’re doing this backwards. In part, you’re trying to figure out what you can make up for, at NYU, not realizing your decisions drop your shot at an admit.

They aren;t going to look at O levels in freshman and soph year and excuse theholes in your record. You aren;t going to present as kid who can “hit the ground running.” Why would you even ask if you can skin chem 2. Everyone here is telling yu that you need to be prepared. Not set a college target, med chool dreams, and then wonder how you can squeeze into a top college, with a low GPA and scores, missing classes, et al.

And seems to be you now say you have such strength fro Malta schools, didn’t you previously indicte those results were a mess?
