I know this may be a little dramatic... but I made a C in my Physics II class this semester. I go to a top-ranked undergraduate school, and it is the only C that I have ever made. The rest of my grades are all A's and then one B in Organic Chemistry II. Overall, that brings me to a science GPA of 3.7. I know that a 3.7 is still considered somewhat competitive for medical schools, but will the C in a pre-requisite for med school hurt me in my chances of getting interviews? Have any of you that have been accepted have an experience like this?

Thanks for any advice/help!
 
I wouldn't sweat it. It sounds like a fluke, and if your PS section in the MCAT is good, nobody will blink at it. Believe it or not, people make it into top schools even if they got a C in a course.
 
As long as your GPA is still average, and your EC's are above average and of course good MCAT you'll have a chance at top schools
 
Thanks for the replies! Definitely makes me feel a bit relieved...
