Does Senior Year Matter?

Do med schools see what classes you are taking your senior year?
Because i just want to take a bunch of easy classes, pass/fail.

I don't think it does. I stopped caring if I get an A in any class.

Not unless you mentioned these classes on your AMCAS application....then it might be binding at some schools.......

Yah well, University of Washington has you send in your transcripts after every quarter, so I'm thinking at least there, they're maybe making up their mind after you either show an upward/downward trend.

tulanes acceptance letter says to maintain academic performance and that a final transcript must be turned in. I think the general saying that i've seen on sdn has been don't make any c's because if you do some schools ask you to write a letter explaining that. I switched my hardest class this semester to Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory,(no more pass/fail, gotta be C- and up) Expecting having at least B's in everything.

In addition to Washington, the only school that I know of that requests quarterly (or semester) updates is UCSF. But I am not totally sure.

As long as you pass your classes, you ought to be okay Is Harvard your first choice?

God bless and good luck
