MD Chances w/ poor freshman year?

[bu2242]

Hey all!

So I'll just cut to the chase:

I am currently a Junior (2016) at a reputable state university.

Freshman Year: overall 3.0 gpa including
> C+ in gen chem 1
> D in gen chem 2 (retook for an A-)

Sophomore year: overall 4.0 gpa including
>A's in orgo 1 & 2
>A's in physics 1
>A's in 2 other upper level biology class.

This upcoming year I intend to keep this good-grade trend going (I had a very rough freshman year). I am also starting research this semester and I have very good ECs (Active EMT, Tutor for Orgo, TA etc.) which I plan to expand even more. I have already began studying for my MCAT which is in January so I am aiming for a mid-30's grade.

Pretty much I am wondering if I am "out of the races" for M.D. schools?

Thanks for reading up to this point and responding

You should be okay if you don't let any more bad semesters happen. Just keep getting A's

Keep acing things and you'll be fine.
