General Education course grades

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>Hi. I'm new to this website, and the medicine field all together. I am currently a freshman with enough credits to become a sophmore. My question is that: Are general courses required by the college, but not within your major, very important into getting into Med school. I currently have a C in a 200 level pre-modern history course. I was wondering if I should withdraw from this course so my overall GPA does not lower. Currently it is at 3.84. But also while I was in high school I withdrew from my philosophy class. So this would be my second withdrawal. I was wondering if anyone has any insight into this, because I imagine like most pre-med students, this kind of stuff stresses them out. Thanks for all your responses. Also, if you guys need any other background academic information to help solve this problem please let me know. </p>

<p>Thanks,
Junaid</p>

<p>I'll let somebody more experienced answer your question. I'm pretty sure though, that medical schools will neither see, nor care about the withdrawal in high school.</p>

<p>One W or one C isn't important in the long run.</p>

<p>But, overall, med schools would like to see you take some liberal arts courses.</p>

<p>Well this is college I'm talking about, not high school. Also, I was planning on withdrawing from this 200 level pre-modern history and take a 100 level pre-modern history in the upcoming semester to make up for it. Would they care that I dropped a higher level course of a lower level course? Also, my plan was to try to double major in psychology, but atleast minor in it. Would this look good on a transcript?</p>
