Am I stressing something irrelevant?

So I’m a junior and I’ll be applying in may. If get all A’s this year, I’ll finish with a 3.92. But if I get just one B, I’ll drop to a 3.89. Am I reasonable for obsessing/stressing over this? Or is the difference insignificant to med schools?

What was your MCAT score



And the difference is minimal for most schools. EC’s could get you in over a 4.0 cGPA with that 3.89.

Just get all As and it won't be something you will have to think about.

You’re stressing too much about this. Minuscule difference

No, This is not normal behavior.

The median GPA for MD acceptees is 3.71

Your grades do not define you as a person.

Yeah, I mean work your hardest to get an A, but don't stress if you get a B. Make sure your MCAT and EC's are strong.

Freak out about getting a great MCAT, not tiny GPA changes!

I would have traded 5 of my A’s for B’s if it meant another 7 MCAT points.
