I will graduate with a BS in Cell/Molecular Biology Winter quarter (mid april) 2009. If all goes really well my remaining four quarters as an undergraduate I will graduate with a ~3.2 GPA. I'm working on an upward trend. I will take the MCAT September 2008.

I plan to enroll in one of many MS in Biomedical Science/Medical science program. I am okay with two year programs. I am most interested in programs at Nova Southeastern University and the Midwestern programs.

I completed the general physics series at my school. It is a quarter system cool. I recieved grades of C-, A, and A. Both programs state there should be no grade below C for pre med classes for admission into their respective MS programs.

I am wondering if anyone still got in with one C-?
I emailed them but have recieved no response, probably due to the fact that it is the weekend.

I got into PCOM's biomedical sciences program with multiple C-. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Apply to a bunch of programs, and apply early. Honestly, if you have a 3.2 cum, and a 3.2-3.4 science, and do well on the MCAT, I would apply to the actual DO program for that application cycle, and if you don't hear back from anywhere apply to some post bacs as well.
