Hey there guys this isn't so much to rate my chances but to inquire what options are available from me. My problem is the following:
I am just finishing High School and will enter college as a junior with an Associate's Degree in Biology. However I have not gotten stellar grades and hence have a gpa of 3.43 and science gpa of 3.17. That includes two C's, one in a chemistry class and the other in Organic - which in hindsight I should not have taken. I know medical schools require transcripts from all the colleges attended, so is there any way to "erase" those from my transcript? If not, will retaking those classes in college help in any way? Further, do admissions committee take into account that these classes were taken during High School?
Since I'm only 18 I will also take an extra year to boost my resume through research, more volunteering, shadowing docs, etc, and possibly do double major in psychology. If it is any help in discussing this situation, I've calculated that I could realistically attain a 3.6-3.7 gpa and 3.5ish sgpa by the time I apply if I get an average of 3.9 during the next two years.
Thanks for your time 😀
