Right now it is challenging. I am not doing as well in Biochemistry. I am getting a B right now and hopefully can get it up to an AB. Could I still go to medical school with a B or 2? I also got a B- in my high school writing class. It didn't count towards my GPA at my community college but it does now at my 4- year college. I am wondering if I should retake the writing class if I got a B- in high school and if I end up getting a B in Biochemistry. Is an AB bad? I got a 3.98 at my community college because they did not include either of these grades.

I think I will do an internship volunteering and working as a scribe for credit. I need some more clinical experience. I do not need to go to any big name school. I'd rather even go to a less competitive medical school even in state.
 
I don't know how picky medical schools are. I might receive my second B. Hopefully I don't get any more.
 
Okay listen

The median GPA for people accepted to medical school is 3.7.

The median GPA for even the top of the top schools generally is 3.85-3.90.

You get get many Bs and still get into Harvard if that's what you want.
