Hi
I have a sub 3.0gpa and i know this is bad, but i am redeeming it as of now. This is my second quarter into my postbac and I have been maintaining a 4.0 gpa. I just got my scores back for my final and received a 89% on my total grade which is a B+. how bad is a B+ in postbac? I feel this just ruined everything... any input or advice on what else to do. Thank you in advance.
 
it would be at 3.8. but would having anything less than an A be seen as a negative in post bac?
 
Yes, anything less than an A is bad. But you'll be ok to get into med school with a 3.8 and a good MCAT.

Not necessarily. By that measure I shouldn't be in med school (Bs in Physics, B+ second semester orgo). It's relative to the starting GPA. I don't think anyone cared about my Bs. They didn't even care about the couple Cs, an F and a W on my transcript (in non-science classes). It's not black and white.
 
God I love it when people who have never been anywhere near a med school app cycle post confident advice about med school admissions with no basis in reality.

This forum is due for another bad behavior scandal, it's been about 2 years since the last one.
