Lowest Grade Acceptable for Pre-Requisites

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>While I was researching pre-requisites for certain schools, I saw one school that said that any class with a grade of C or below would not be considered as a satisfactory pre-requisite. In my second semester of general chemistry, I received a C-. </p>

<p>My question is, is there some general rule of thumb for minimum grades for medical school applications? I am worried that I will get to my senior year and realize that I will not even be able to APPLY to any med schools at all because of that one C-. </p>

<p>Any grade below a C is unacceptable for medical school admissions. This is pretty standard everywhere.</p>

<p>So you will need to retake gen chem 2 </p>

<p>Why would you think that you shouldnt retake that class? It strongly suggests that you dont know the material. It would likely be viewed as a courtesy D.</p>

<p>48.000 people apply to med school each year, and 20,000 get in. They don’t want people with low grades.
Figure out why you got such a low grade.
Didn’t put the effort in?
Didn’t understand it?
Had some kind of personal issue?</p>

<p>Med schools don’t want people who won’t put the effort in or can’t understand freshman chemistry when there are so many who did and can.</p>

<p>Retake the grade. Consider DO schools since they do grade replacement.</p>
