Cs in Bio II, Orgo II, and Physiology class. It was not a smart move on my part to take three science classes along with working part time during the week and not studying as much. I started my major level classes this semester, taking Biochem, and microbio. I am trying to make up for last semester. I've been on it since day one this semester and I plan to keep at it. I was wondering if there was anything else I should be doing thats going to help (besides doing well on the MCAT- next march). Trying for MD. 2 years of research, and tons of pt experience. Indian (asian).
3C's. How bad?

Show that you've learned to appreciate your limitations with better time management from this point forward and focus on getting straight As to belie the impression last semester will give. Get multiple As in upper level Bio and Biochem to show your facitilty with upper-level science similar to med school coursework. Consider waiting a year or more extra before you apply so your overall and BCPM GPAs will have more time to recover from their challenged state. If your sGPA will still be on the low side, be sure your ECs are sterling, eg add leadershiip and committed nonmedical community service plus shadowing (but don't focus excess attention on them at this point until you've learned the knack of getting A grades).
