<p>I am currently a freshmen at UCSD. I got a 2.86 first quarter (B+ in a writing course, B in Calc, and a C+ in Econ) 2nd Quarter, my gpa is 3.38 (I got a B in chem). My cumulative gpa is 3.18... Have i seriously screwed up my chances into getting into a decent/good med school?</p>
<p>( I dont know why i took econ. Haha, now i know Econ is not my thing)</p>
<p>If you are not confident I would recommend doing a special masters program to prove to the adcom's that you can handle med school classes. Georgetown Uni has a well know one.</p>
<p>Too early to be thinking about SMP's. No you're not screwed...yet. Better start raising those grades though. You'll want a 3.5-3.6 cum by the time you apply.</p>
<p>you are not screwed yet.</p>
<p>Sorry, I only skimmed you post. You have time to raise your GPA. Specials masters are for people that have that gpa or lower in there junior year or when applying.</p>

Because economics is the only important subject any of these colleges teach!</p>
<p>Your GPA is currently too low for admission to any allopathic school, but you've got three years left. Remember, econ is not a BCPM course, and your BCPM GPA has extra weight to it relative to your other courses.</p>
