Hey Folks,

I was fortunate enough to score an acceptance fairly early on in this cycle. I was looking back at my transcript and just noticed that I would be unable to complete my minor that I indicated on AMCAS, but still be fulfilling my major class requirements and graduate prior to matriculation with good grades. If I am able to graduate on time with my major indicated but not my minor, would my acceptance be in jeopardy? Should I let the school that I decide on attending know?

Dude... you were once worried about...

Nervous about how C's affect admission decisions

Hey folks, The title says it all lol, but for real though, I had a great GPA for all of my quarters throughout college (4.00, 3.92, etc), but due to a family emergency, I was unable to really keep up with the increasing workload of my upper division courses during my last quarter of college and...

Now you're worried about dropping a minor affecting admissions decisions?

Planned coursework and activities are planned. And that's also why they aren't given much weight.

Congratulations to you! Ask the school to confirm this advice.

I did exactly this when I was in your shoes. I had one more class I didn’t want to take so I dropped my minor. It’s fine, nobody cares.

Congrats!

Oh also- once you get closer to school starting, DM me (or search a thread) for how to study and etc. not right now though. Your job for the next 8 months or so is to have as much fun as possible, exercise, sleep 9 hours every night, etc

Literally nobody cares. A minor should be something you enjoy, but if you don't enjoy it then don't do it.
