How to recover from a bad semester?

A pharmacy major is chemistry intensive, so it is imperative that you master your basic chemistry courses. Most Pharmacy courses have some component of chemistry. Examples from one pharmacy school curriculum:

Clinical Biochemistry

Fundamentals of Medicinal Chemistry

Medicinal Chemistry I

Medicinal Chemistry II

Structure and Function of Nucleotides: Basis for Therapy

etc.

I agree that you should seek out a tutor for chemistry and work hard at mastering the subject. BTW, some Pharmacy programs does not allow grade forgiveness, “which means that grades for multiple attempts for the same course number will be averaged together for that course.”
