Hello everyone,
I'm new here and I wanted to ask about grades and for how long they're considered by admissions. I do see that similar topics have been discussed but I wanted more details. I'm 26, and I had some crappy grades a little over 8 years ago now, and I'm getting back into the swing of things to retake those courses and keep a high GPA until it comes time to apply to med school. I wanted to know if there is a timeline when admissions won't take the grade into consideration, regardless of whether you did well or not? By the time I apply to med schools, it will have been 10 years since I got those grades.
