<p>I'm a freshman at Duke University, and a premed student. My current midterm grades--3.4 science, 3.5 overall--are making me slightly worried about my med school chances if this trend continues or worsens throughout my University career. I also have a lot of dual enrollment classes from high school, and I'm interested to know what impact this has on my chances (if at all).</p>
<p>NOTE: I understand that this case is hypothetical, as I obviously have no way of knowing what my GPA will be at the time of application. I'm hoping to get it to >3.5, but I'm also well aware that I may not accomplish this and it could be in the 3.3-3.5 range or possibly even lower if I really struggle.</p>
<p>Also, additional advice, comments, and words of wisdom are welcome.</p>

<p>So, my high school was basically a dual enrollment program connected to the local community college. I ultimately graduated high school with an AS degree and a 4.0 GPA. This included about 25 CC courses total, half in math/science, half in other subject areas; this would result in dual enrollment courses accounting for 40-50% of the courses listed on AMCAS.</p>
<p>Now, I know that my dual enrollment grades could boost a questionable GPA of 3.3-3.5 to something around 3.6 or 3.7, a perfectly acceptable GPA for your average med school; it could even boost a GPA as low as a 3.0 to a 3.4-3.5.</p>

<p>How would adcoms look at my overall AMCAS GPA in a case like this where the overall GPA has been significantly inflated by dual enrollment classes from high school/CC?</p>
<p>Will they simply not consider it and focus entirely on my grades in University, or will the inflated GPA result in an edge (even if only slight)?</p>
