3.7 gpa chem grad school with one C bad?

Basically, here is the rundown.

In chem grad school, grades are much harder to ace than getting a bachelors, due to the competition being rather difficult.

I earned an A- in quantum chemistry, but may only earn a C in "advanced" graduate quantum chemistry. However, my Gpa should remain around a 3.7.

Is this a huge concern when applying to medical school?

Thanks!

I think you'll be ok, as long as you don't get more Cs and keep your GPA up. My guess is that med schools won't care too much about a class with the words "Advanced Quantum" in it.

Thanks. Fortunately, this is my last class. So considering I have one B, one "possible" C, and a ton of A's, hopefully that "possible" C doesnt influence admissions too much.

You'll be completely fine. What is your uGPA, MCAT, gGPA?

uGPA wasnt the best, although it was still above a 3.0, thats why I did this program in the first place, to show an upward trend (met med school admissions fellow in person who told me to take this path).

MCAT was low 20's, so Ill probably retake after my thesis defense in July.

gGPA: 3.7-ish (including the two quantum chem courses I took)

It can be forgiven.

Score well on MCAT and it won't hurt you.
