Can I still be a doctor?

Oh, do get over yourself. Your unweighted GPA is probably about 3.5-3.75, which means that you can get into probably 3,000 U.S. universities. No, you probably don't have a chance at an Ivy League or similarly selective school, but there are plenty of great universities that send students off to medical school.

A C+ in AP Chem does suggest that you are going to have to get a lot better at chemistry if you want to get the university grades you'll need to get into a U.S. medical school. Only about 10% of all pre-med college kids actually get accepted into medical school. Your high school activities won't matter. What will matter is your overall GPA, your GPA from your pre-med required classes, and your MCAT score, as well as your medical-related activities and research in college. Those pre-med classes will include at least three chemistry classes. If you get Cs in those classes you will have to retake them if you want any hope of getting into med school.

First of all, you need to QUIT CALLING YOURSELF STUPID. YOU AREN'T STUPID. If you were, you wouldn't BE where you are now. So get that OUT OF YOUR HEAD. If your dad calls you stupid, that's abuse. But if you call yourself that, it's a different story. Now, with that said, about your dream of becoming a doctor. Most people who want to go into medicine PLAN their careers. They don't just suddenly up and decide that they want to jump into medicine out of the blue. Life doesn't work that way. If you're really serious about a medical career, then the first thing you need to concentrate on in order to make that happen is getting accepted at a college or university which offers a good PRE-MED program. Most colleges do offer at least some pre-professional training programs, but this varies by school and by location.

The next thing you have to do as part of your preparation for college is to raise ALL of your grades to A's. That may mean you have to be tutored in subjects like chemistry, which from the sound of it is the bane of your existence right now. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, has at least ONE subject which they're terrible at. None of us can be perfect at everything. Chemistry just happens to be the fly in your ointment, so to speak. But with time, extra tutoring from a trained teacher, and a lot of hard work on your part, there's no reason why you couldn't eventually raise your grade to an A. But YOU have to be willing to make the effort and put in the time. If that means you have to drop some of your extra curricular activities, then so be it. You need to keep your eyes on the prize, which is becoming a doctor.

Keep in mind as well that college admissions counselors are looking for people who are well rounded individuals with clear, achievable goals and plans. They want students who have their heads on straight and who know where they're going and what they want out of life. That means you need to keep your personal life as clean as the proverbial whistle if you want to get into a good college with a pre-med program. No drinking, no drugs, no smoking, no late hours, no partying. If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, make sure you use CONTRACEPTION if you decide to have sex. Not just once, but EVERY TIME. Getting pregnant or getting someone else pregnant will TOTALLY WRECK your plans, so take the hint and be smart about this. Think with your HEAD, not with your HORMONES. It's okay to be involved in sports or another activity, such as music, but don't let this become the focus of your life.

colleges also look at SAT/ACT scores

Pre med course will include chemistry. Organic chemistry really weeds out students.
With a C in AP chem, it shows you very well will have trouble with chemistry classes for pre med at the university level.

Many students who plan on taking pre med in college take AP chemistry and bio on high school.
Going to a state university or a lower tier university is not going to end your chances at medical school.
I got to say too, get over yourself. Calling yourself stupid because you got one C is being overly dramatic. What is your unweighted cumulative gpa? Based on just the grade you posted, you will have many options for college.

shadowing a doctor and volunteer hours really mean nothing. That is for your personal experience only.

Taking anatomy in HS means nothing. Once again it is for your own benefit. It may help when you take the class in college

Your grades an an undergrad need to be stellar. You will need a top score on your MCAT exam. That is what is going to get you into medical school. You will need A’s in university Chemistry classes.

If you and chemistry don't click, I don't think you'll even be able to get passed undergrad, much less med school.

Med schools don't care what you did in high school.

Your current grades will get you into many of the top 100 unis in the US. One C won't keep you out of most schools. No, you aren't going to Harvard, but might you get into U Arizona or ASU, for example? Yes. Absolutely.

You should work with guidance at your school and figure out a list of colleges you have a realistic chance of getting into. Once you go to college, you will need to take the pre-med coursework, which includes specific science and math and etc. classes. You need to get higher grades in college than you are getting in high school, if you want a chance at med school. That may be what your dad is implying. Or he may just be frightened that you're off track for your goals, and reacting to that.

Nothing you do before college counts for medical school.

The medical school will look at your COLLEGE grades. If you ace them, and the MCAT, you will be fine.

It sounds like you're really being put down. Honestly don't worry about it so much. Colleges and Universities like it when students choose hard courses and do "okay" as long as they are willing to put in the work you are good. Since you already have some shadowing done they will consider you even more.

Here's a tip: colleges also like to see some that you part take in clubs and have service hours.

Next year just work a little bit harder. Do some studying during summer for next years classes. Look at the requirements for your dream school.

I believe you can do what ever you want!
Good luck!

You are in high school. Your high school grades will in no way determine if you can be a doctor or not.

Of course, nothing in high school will really matter, it's all what you do in premed

If these are high school grades then yes you can absolutely be a doctor. Medical schools accept students based primarily off of their University grades.

Two of my best friends are now doctors, the graduate high school with GPAs around a 3.5 and they never did any shadowing or summer courses. After admission to undergrad, HS grades aren't used for much.

You’ve not even bothered to list your GPAs (W and UW)...

Go to the best school you can get into, kill the PreMed coursework, excel is the General Studies classes, do well on the MCAT, volunteer, publish (research), lead activities, hold rank in clubs and volunteer projects, and be a well-rounded human for the best chance to be admitted to med school.

Good Luck

Yes

you could retake the chem course, no or in college to show it was an anomaly
