Fear.

I don't know how to articulate the fear of getting a CAP below 4.0 and graduating with a mediocre bachelor of sciences (life sciences - conc in biomedical sciences) in the event of having to stay on.

Try as I might, the information refuses to internalise...

(4.0 translates into an A-, but every science student I've talked to has only this comment: "3.5 very difficult to achieve... meh?" Its pretty much nothing in here. I don't know how I'm going to survive this.)
