I finished freshman year with a 2.56 cum gpa. I'm taking summer courses now to raise this up to about a 3.0. Is my gpa too damaged to realistically pursue the MD? I don't really have a valid medical excuse... in fact if it wasn't for the class participation/homework parts of the courses I would have gotten A's across the board, which really burns. I'm active in EC's, (editor for school paper, Chief MUN delegate, edit lit review), and just started volunteering at hospital and a few other places. I took two prereqs this year; one was a C, the other a W.
How bad/common is my situation? (I'm aware I need to change my study habits)
First semester:
C+ - art history
C - euro history
C+ - russian
B - russian lit
Second Semester:
C - intro to cell bio
B+- media studies
B - russian
W (withdrawn/not part of gpa) - genetics/evolution
