Hi there,
I recently completed my first semester at USC as a human biology major. I ended the semester with a 3.86 GPA (a huge disappointment to me) and am wondering if this is a good starting point for medical schools. I am not sure what the norm is for the premed track at USC considering the classes/curriculum structure.
My two A- courses were WRIT 150 and BISC 120 (should that be taken into account for my science GPA).
Also, does it get easier, or do you just get better? I’ve heard a lot of people say their GPA improves over the course of 4 years despite taking harder classes. Is it perhaps that once the general courses are completed, the major becomes easier to manage/more interesting?
