Can you get into a med school with a D?
It was an elective, but I wonder if I have to retake?

Many schools won't even see it. They just look at the two GPAs. Some will see it and not think much of it.

Especially if the other grades are fine.

I got in. It was Calc. I think an interviewer (or 2) commented on it but that was it.

Just make sure all the rest is good. Pre-meds are humans too, we all make mistakes sometimes.

Yes. It was an elective. Do well in everything else.

C is way much better than a D

I think he means yes to the first question and no to the second.

I got into med school with a D in calc! I think one interviewer commented on it but since everything else was fine no one seemed to care.

If the rest of your grades and mcat are sufficient then it won't matter. Case closed, move along.

What do you mean yes and no?

Yes, to the first question and no, to the second one. (I think.)

Better pack your sunscreen because the only place that big ol' D will fit is within the sandy halls of SGU

I thought this was going to be an affirmative action thread asking if males have a more difficult time being accepted to med school.
