i dont think a C in calculus can hurt you alot...besides you seem to be doing well in other classes...just do your best for the rest of your classes

I got a C in calculus freshmen year, and it didn't really affect me too much. I think you're fine. You should study hard and do well in the rest of your upper-level classes and of course try to rock the MCAT. If you think you're GPA is low, you'll have to try to compensate with a great MCAT score or a lots of volunteering, etc... (though the high MCAT score is the best way to do it in my opinion).

Thanks.... yeah I guess right now it's low (3.3) but hopefully will go up.
