Hello I'm currently wrapping up my freshman year pursuing a degree in Biology, like many first year students I took the first semester kind of lightly and ended up with a 3.2 gpa for first semester.My science classes, along with my labs were great with a B+ in Chem and an A in BIO, what was bringing my gpa down were my first-year courses (History & Writing).My second semester is wrapping up and if I did my calculation correctly I should be around the 3.48-3.6 range for GPA. I have a love for science and eventually want to go somewhere (MD or DO) after my time here. I have read so many different stories about schools closely critiquing GPA to them not even caring about solely focusing on the MCAT. I have numerous EC under my belt, play sports at the college, and have already started studying for the MCAT. My question is will a program overlook me because of that first semester even though I did well in my sciences.
