I just finished junior year at a tough top 10 school. Up until this semester I had a decent GPA, 3.7(c) 3.65(s).
I had a horrible past semester due to some family health reasons(not giving an excuse here).
I got my first C + in Physics2 and my first B- on another science elective (not prereq) . This has bombed my cGPA to a 3.6 and sGPA to a 3.56.
I got an A- in Physics1
I took the old MCAT and did not do as well as I had hoped, got a 13 on the PS though.
My question is should I retake Physics2 ?How bad is one C+ on a req premed course. I have only As and Bs on all other BCPM courses. I want to get into a decent MD school (mid-low tier is fine too) I am done with most of my science courses , only have biochem and another science elective left to take for my major. So I can bring up both my cGPA and sGPA to some extent next year. I am planning to apply at the end of senior year.
If I have to retake Physics2 I have to do it now over the summer, which will come in the way of the ECs I am planning on doing in the summer. I have to decide soon. Please advise esp. senior members and ADCOMs.
Thank you so much!
