Failed multiple classes how badly will this affect my grad school admissions??

I retook 6 of my science based classes in undergrad. I had horrible study skills and always procrastinated. The second time around I got A’s and B’s on all of them. But my previous grade still shows on the transcript. How badly will this affect my admission into med school? Is there anything else I can do to increase my chances?? My MCAT score is high. I also volunteer and work so i can add that to my application as well.

ps. please don’t leave rude or snarky comments im already upset at myself for messing up this bad and already feel like a failure

For both Medical schools and DO schools, they will take both attempts at the class in to account in your GPA.
I suggest asking at studentdoctor.net

There is no grade replacement for MD and DO schools so both grades will be used to calculate your gpa. What is your MCAT score?

Hopefully with good recommendations and good everything else, grad schools will take your clear improvements into consideration. You may want to address it if there is a way of adding additional information to the application. Best of luck.

I’d suggest you move to the medical school section of cc as you’ll get the benefit of their experiences. You’ll need to supply a lot more information-actual GPA, sGPA, MCAT, etc to get good advise, however.
