Hey everyone, I just took a really hard exam and I'm wondering what kind of grades makes a med school retract its offer for admission? Is a D an automatic retraction?
2nd Semester senior year grades

Once you've been accepted, the only thing you need to do is graduate from college. As long as you have a degree, I don't think they'll retract their offer because of a crappy grade.

this is a good question.
can i take all my classes pass/fail?
do college transcripts affect residency matches?
how much do schools differ on this?
meaning, should i call up the school just to make sure what their offer is conditional on?

i've heard of residency directors asking for your MCAT scores, but i think it's a curiosity thing and doubt they factor highly into any decisions. i've never heard of anyone asking for your COLLEGE grades, because how would your grades in college speak to your ability to be a competent doctor? even in med school, your clinical rotation marks (the ones that speak of your competency in the hospital), along with your board scores, matter more than your course grades when looking for a residency. no med school has asked for my high school grades because at this point in life, they're totally irrelevant. i've been out of college for several years as it is, so by the time i go looking for residencies, my college grades will be almost 10 years old.
you're all worrying too much. while it depends on the particular med school, just don't get any grades below a C and you'll be fine for the vast majority of schools out there. 🙂
