Wow...
I'm the same way. I've forever existed on the "bubble" between an A- and B+. Rarely ever do I get a solid A. My school has very tough sciences and most of my science classes have been curved to a 77%
I wouldn't let it get to you. If it bothers you so much take some easy science classes to bump your GPA. But honestly if you are consistently in the A- B+ range I don't think you should worry.

Well, IDK. Were you taking too many sciences at one time?
Not sure on the summer session course. Actually summer session courses can be more intense--a lot of stuff to cram in in a shorter period of time.
Yea, so I guess my first question remains. . . .how many courses are you taking at once (in the semester)?

A-s are fine, don't worry about it.
I am not gonna lie. I was pissed when I got an A-. I took on too much that semester. And no, it's not wrong to be particular about your grades and such, so long as the only person you are competing w/ is you. For me, I saw where I didn't give certain areas the needed attention, and in my mind, I was the one that lost out. Therefore, I had to take the extra time to go back and learn what I missed, in spite of the grade. That's not so bad if you don't have a lot of other things to do, but if you do have a ton of crap to do, then you are forced to see the missed opportunity during the time-frame for the course.
So, again I say, look at what is on your plate--total stuff, and see where it is taking away from learning time.

I wouldn't sweat over the "trend" of A-. Just worry about your cGPA and sGPA.
OP, if you're really feeling down about your A- parade, then move to Texas because they count as As on TMDSAS!
Joking aside, we all know it's difficult to get grades above a B+ in science courses. So be proud of yourself.

Apply to Texas schools, even as OOS with A minuses you will have a 4.0!!
Seriously though, I can't see this not being some sort of a troll post... Seeing as I responded 7/10

You got an A in GenChem 2. I swear, I'm gonna see a thread tomorrow saying "Can't get accepted into med school!" and then the post is gonna say " I've been rejected from 5 schools, silence from 12, and only 1 acceptance. What have you?" Good ol SDN

Good catch, because of that I up my rating of this troll thread to a 9/10 and also because I came back to it. Well done OP, well done
Duh. Everyone knows that medical schools HATE A minuses. A minus just screams underachiever destined for mediocrity.
