GPA improvement: 4 year institution to Community college

Hi,

Currently, I just finished with my sophomore year at 4- year institution in US,

I’m shooting for medical school, but I found out my GPA is weak,

so I want to start fresh at CC,from freshman to possibly raise GPA and get into better ranked school after CC.
Also other reason behind it is I didn’t really enjoy experience here at my current school, so I couldn’t focus on academics well enough for medical school,

I wish to move into other institution.
Will this have negative effect on my future medical school application??

What is your GPA?

Medical schools will look at your entire college and university record. They also expect you to graduate with your bachelor’s degree in four years. If it takes you more than four years to graduate this will have a bad impact on your chances to get accepted to any medical school.

You cannot “run away” from your current GPA by changing schools. As was already mentioned on another thread, there is a clearinghouse where schools can check and see which colleges and universities you have already attended.

The premed students that I have met rarely “enjoy” their undergraduate education experience. They stay focused and they work very hard to keep their GPA up.

You will get better advice if you give us complete information. If we knew which school you attend and what your GPA is that would help. However, based on the very small amount of information you have provided, it sounds like you might need to consider other career options other than medical school.

The OP claimed these stats in a previous thread

So either the OP is making things up or not being full honest in their posting.

The OP is an international student–which mean they have a vanishingly small chance of being admitted to a US med school in the first place.

@dabnm

As @DadTwoGirls said–it doesn’t work that way. For med school admission purposes you cannot “start over”. Every grade you’ve earned at every college you have ever attended are included in GPA/sGPA calculations for med school admission. Even grades that did not get counted toward your degree, or college classes you may have taken in high school.

AMCAS will vet your application to check that you have been honest in reporting your information. So will med schools.

And since you sign a statement affirming you have been totally honest on your application, falsifying or filling out your application intentionally incorrectly means your application will be pulled and you will be blacklisted, i.e. prevented from ever again applying to ANY US medical school.

Should it be discovered after you have matriculated into med school that you lied on or intentionally reported incorrect information, your admission will be rescinded. If you have already received your MD, your degree will be revoked. (And it has happened in the past.)

MODERATOR’S NOTE: The OP’s other thread was “asking for a friend,” so I have deleted it. The stats in this thread are correct.

The story still does not wash.

In 2017 the OP posted this thread. That was several years ago.

Read that thread…the advice has not changed. You can’t just start over…you couldn’t do it in 2017 (or did you?) and you can’t do it now…and certainly not again!

Please come clean with this story.

You can’t start over like you never were in college for ANY major. Colleges ask for transcripts for ALL college courses you have ever taken. Not providing them isn’t an option. You must do this as part of your application to a new college.

So…forget about just ditching your current college and transcripts from that school as the transcript will be required when you apply to a new college. Oh…and not including it would be quite dishonest and colleges really frown on dishonesty…so don’t do it.
