<p>Gen Chem I B+
Gen Chem II B
Gen Bio I C+
Gen Bio II C+
Calculus C+
Statistics for the behavioral sciences- B
Writing I, II - A
These are the classes I took freshmen year.
All I really want to do is become a doctor,
and I am going to become one!!
This means I am going to try for the conventional four year undergrad and then med school route, but if it doesnt work, I will try master programs etc etc. to get into US med schools.
If even that doesnt work :( I guess it will be foreign med schools.
But eventually this chick is going to be an M.D.
Just want to know how hopeful I should be about a direct entry into med school after 4years of undergrad?!
I will keep these stats updated after I have my stats from sophomore year at college.</p>
<p>*Gen Bio I C+
Gen Bio II C+

<p>Why did you get C’s in these classes?</p>
<p>And why will next year’s grades be better? OChem is harder than Gen Chem.</p>
<p>Right now, it looks like your science GPA is …what?..around a 2.5/2.6??? Is that right?</p>
<p>What school do you attend?</p>
<p>What is your current cumulative GPA and science/math GPA?</p>
<p>The B and B+ in General Chemistry are acceptable to medical schools even though they would like to see an A in this course. Calculus is not used in medical school so the C+ in Calculus might not hurt you that much but it does drag down your GPA which is probably well below the 3.5 you need to be a viable applicant. The really bad news is that General Biology is probably the most important of your medical school prerequisites and anything less than a B+ is very damaging. As much as you may want to be a doctor, your chances of acceptance to a U.S. medical school are not good.</p>
<p>What is your major?</p>
<p>I would strongly suggest that you major in something that will provide a back-up plan for a career.</p>
<p>I agree with mom2collegekids.</p>
<p>If you are looking for honest answer…you know it already…you knew it in HS, why you are asking now, nothing has changed since then, except it is harder every year.</p>
