<p>I got 3.7 GPA my first year of college at a community college. Now I have transferred to a four year college as a sophomore and got 3.0 GPA my first semester. Does this look bad? Am I no longer competitive for med school?</p>

<p>Class schedule
Gen chem 2
Calc 2
Physics/w calc
And a one credit seminar class</p>

<p>13 hours totall. I got all B’s in my classes.</p>

<p>Well, it won’t look fantastic. You have to make sure to get A’s second semester and on. It may look like you can’t succeed at a 4-year institution taking generally harder classes, you have to prove adcoms otherwise.</p>

<p>Techy’s right. It doesn’t look good but you still have the opportunity to turn things around. It basically looks like your CC was easy and you can’t handle a 4-year, but there’s no reason you can’t prove that perception wrong next semester. Just work hard and succeed. Figure out what went wrong this semester and fix it. Good luck!</p>
