I was wondering, how much do med schools scrutinize your first semester grades? As long as you are keeping up around your previous level of work, is that what matters? Thanks and good luck with your applications.
 
I don't think admissions committee have time to look at individual grades in individual semesters. It's rather, "what are your overall grades in the science requirements?" "How did you do in your major?" "What is your overall GPA?" What is your science GPA?" "Did your grades go down or up from each year?" I hope this helps.
