Hello all, new here. To start some basic information, I'm a 2nd year sophomore student at a community college who will be transferring to a UC this fall as an Economics major. My main question/worry is how greatly do medical schools look at community college GPA? I had a 3.7 gpa but my dad died unexpectedly, so I got all B's except 1 A, which dropped my grade down to a 3.53. Would they be looking at your cumulative GPA, or your science GPA? I haven't taken many requirements except for Bio 1, Bio 10(a Biochemistry course), Math 3a (calc 1), and 3b (calc 2). These are all I've taken at my community college. How would I go about doing it in a way to complete the prerequisites in time to apply to medical school? And lastly, do I even have a chance?

Writing 1: B
Music 1: A

Math 2(Pre-calc)-B
Econ-A
Jap-A

Writing 2-A
Comm - A
Business Stat Econ-A

when my dad passed away.
Math 3A-B
Psych - A
Econ - B
Bio 10 - B

WAMC(what are my chances) forum is usually best used just before applying- with all GPA, MCAT, EC and other aspects as close to final application as possible.
This might be best asked in Pre-Allo or Pre-Osteo forum! This will get probably moved.

Also, I'm really sorry about your dad. Not sure how you've managed to stand strong and do well. Your grades doesn't look bad; no C's D's or F's. I'd say it looks superb, but I'm another Pre-med. So don't take advice from me, but I think you are doing well.

it's not really what are my chances, but some general questions.

Yep. That is why I thought it'd be better to ask in Pre-Allo or Pre-Osteo.
WAMC are usually posted just before applying, like you are about to apply within 6 months.
