<p>So if i continue my sophomore and junior year trend of straight A's (2 or 3 A-'s), i will end with a 3.62. I took the MCAT in my junior year, near the end, and I scored a 40. What are my chances of meducal schools like stanford, UCLA, USC, UCSF, etc. </p>
<p>In my freshman year i pulled out a 2.5 including 2 C's, 2 C-'s, and a C+. One C- was in second semester calculus. One C was in first semester calculus. One C was in O Ochem semester one. I aced Ochem semester two. Math was my tough spot which caused lower grades in all courses in freshman year. </p>
<p>I have only 2 years of research and a couple months of shadowing doctors. I am part of 3 clubs on campus (none have any medical affiliation, all three are religious clubs), and I volunteer with the suitcase clinic and red cross.</p>
<p>So what m i looking at in my future. Molecular and Cell Biology Major at UC Berkeley right now. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Are you saying that you took the MCAT while you were in HS and scored a 40??</p>
<p>As of July 2011, the OP was a rising HS senior concerned (rightly) that his “nearly straight C’s” from HS junior year would prevent him from attending UC Berkeley. As of November 2012, the OP claimed to have had a very bad freshman year at UC Berkeley, so while the story is fishy overall the timing does track correctly.</p>
<p>On that chronology, he should be at the end of freshman year now.</p>
<p>I suspect that he’s asking a “what if” question rather than a “here’s what’s happened” question. He will find that we are reluctant to answer such questions because when they’re being asked with preposterous hypothetical statistics (as here), the answers to said questions are not actually useful.</p>
<hr>
<p>I suspect this is the OP’s actual question: “I just finished my freshman year at UC Berkeley with a 2.5. Are my chances at medical school in California completely closed off, or do I have even a very tiny sliver of hope?”</p>
<p>The answer to THAT question is: “It’s very hard to close off medical school COMPLETELY. Even a felony arrest won’t do that. So there is still a sliver of hope. But very, very few students who start with a 2.5 freshman year will eventually go on to medical school.”</p>
<p>bluedevilmike, thanks for explaining the post. I got confused at “meducal”.</p>
<p>OP, the liklihood of getting straight As all through college is very tiny. Not to say that it cannot be done. It is simply just not done often.</p>
<p>You’re right haha. </p>
<p>I just wanted a straight answer and I knew if I asked ‘what if’ people would just give me ‘that’s impossible’. I figured this would get better answers. You’re good haha!</p>
