I just completed my first undergrad semester, and it was pretty terrible.
I didn't become seriously interested in medicine until halfway through the semester (a little before midterms) and I allowed myself to become distracted-- I wasn't academically focused at all. However, once I realized how important my GPA was going to be, I completely changed my study habits, and started doing really well... Particularly in Gen Chem and Zoo. (I got A's on my science midterms and finals.)
Even though I finished strong, my lackluster start decimated my semester GPA. I'm still waiting for a few of my grades to come in, but I'm basically expecting a 2.9. Have I destroyed my chances at attending med school, or do I still have a chance if I work my butt off?
