As an undergrad I've taken 2 courses in genetics.

I first took Fundamental Genetics and got a 3.0!!! I was like what the *$%^#
but admittedly I was kind off the ball the entire semester.

This semester to attempt to "hit genetics back" I took Human Genetics but I still 3.5ed the course :scared:. My fault... part of it was because I just wasn't motivated to study it as much as I was for physio, biochem, or any other sciences.

(4=90, 3.5=80-89, 3.0=80) for my university.

Now, my sGPAs not bad (3.83) because I've 4.0ed physio, biochem, and all my prerequisites (besides physics I). I know this doesn't seem too bad but will they look at my transcript and be turned off by my genetics weakness?

A second thread about genetics grades?

Specific classes aren't really important. It's the overall cGPA and sGPA that matter.
 
Might sound strange but this is all I wanted. Thanks!

And from a medical student too. 🙂

Lol no problem. I figured launching too far into it would only muddy the water. Plus it entertained me to give a 1 word answer to a longer post 😀
