<p>so it may sound like I'm just freaking out, but I looked at my final grades and my finals managed to bring a few A's down to B+'s and now i have a 3.46. My goal had been to get a 3.5 and I know med schools usually average at least a 3.7. Here's the breakdown:</p>

<p>Chem Lecture: B+
Chem Lab: A-
Multivariable Calc: B+
Intermediate French: A-
First Year Writing Seminar: B+</p>

<p>is this going to hurt my chances of getting in to med school unless I get like a 3.9 every other semester? My school is trying to stop grade inflation</p>

<p>Is this your first semester of college GPA? If so, don’t worry about it. It is easy to bring your GPA up just a little bit…you have plenty of time, just focus on studies and don’t let your grades slip 2nd semester and you’ll be fine.</p>
