Hello.
I am 29 years old, taking pre-reqs for medical school. I currently have a bachelor's in psychology (GPA 3.1) and a master's in education (GPA 3.9). I am also a paramedic (GPA 4.0) with a good amount of clinical experience. I am currently working full time so I am only taking one course right now - calculus I. I previously took calc I as an undergraduate about 10 years ago and I got an A in the class. I enrolled in the class again because I thought it would be a good review before taking physics. Now I'm thinking I made a mistake. My grades in the class aren't too great and I'm expecting a B as a final grade in the class. I still have the option of withdrawing from the class. My question is...would it look ok on a med school app to withdraw from calc I being that I did get an A in the class previously or would a withdraw on my transcript look bad when I apply to medical school? I anticipate my grades in the remainder of my science classes to be all A's due to a different attitude toward learning than I had during my undergraduate years (hence the 3.1 GPA). Any input would be greatly appreciated.
