One of the hardest working and smartest women I have ever met decided against a career in Medicine after struggling with Orgo at Stanford. At that time, Stanford even offered the “do-over” program which allowed you to retake a class to improve your grade and make the other grade disappear. Not sure if that program is still in place though.

She went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa and earned her MBA/JD at Columbia then landed a top paying job at a Wall Street Law firm.

Maybe she just discovered wasn’t really cut out for medicine but I suspect that an A-/B+ would not have derailed her plans. I find that grade “average” to be on the high side as well.
