Hate to bring up one of these threads again…but I'm currently enrolled in a graduate program, and it may be likely I received a D or some Cs last semester. Most will probably be Bs or B- though. It was my fault and I intend to do better this semester. How much would medical schools mind about graduate studies gpa??

Adcom member gyngyn said that it "decreases their enthusiasm" for a candidate.
Have you already been accepted into medical school, which "grades after acceptance" would imply? If so, many have some kind of requirement that you have to complete your existing program successfully before matriculation. If you fail out, that'd be bad.

In most cases, "not failing" is pretty much the expectation. Most letters include some line that says that the school expects that you'll continue "your current level of achievement" or something like that, i.e., that you'll continue getting grades similar to what you applied with. As and Bs will be fine. Cs are probably pushing it. Anything below that and you're asking for trouble.

You won't have a definitive answer about this issue until you know the policy at the school that accepted you. Once you know your grades for this term, why not call them anonymously and ask?
