Do final grades matter?

[steth1]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering how much second semester grades actually matter once you have already been accepted to a medical school. DO medical schools care about these grades and if so, do all they care about is if you pass? I'm on the borderline between a B and C in a class, and I'm kind of nervous that if I get a C, that it wont really look good. If anybody knows how closely final grades are looked at, please let me know. Thanks.

I think as long as you get a C or better, you will be fine.

pretty much you just need to graduate at this point so stick with C's or better and you'll be fine.

Don't worry, once you're accepted, you're accepted. No one will look at your final semester grades and reconsider. God knows I'm living proof. Just get your degree and move on.

In fact, you probably should get straight C's, just for the hell of it. 😀

Congrats on your acceptance.

C is the minimum grade you should maintain once accepted.

The safe thing to do is call your school and ask them.
