Quick question for anyone that can answer it.... Do college transcripts show the percentage grade as well as the letter?
 
Not usually. The glorious 104% is = 94% as far as what actually shows up on your transcript, but you get the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you did awesome, for whatever consolation that is worth.

No your percentage won't show up. (also, just f.y.i., an A+ counts no different than an A for your AMCAS GPA)
 
OP obviously missed that thread a week ago about that guy who had 4 majors in college and passed every class with A's....while doing crazy research and being a bad*** in general. I will never gloat on SDN after reading that. Passing a basic bio course with a 104? Come on. Hit 40+ on the MCAT and then come back to rub it in op.

Someone said on the forums not too long ago not to take Bio 101.

I guess it's easy...?

Do adcom's look down on taking Bio 101?
 
Not sure if sarcasm

Nope. Not sarcasm. You're a genius Fakhter! 104% in BIO 101! That's an incredible grade that hardly anyone could get. Yep. 104% in BIO 101! 104% That's so breathtaking. Dermatology is too easy for you. Aim for all degrees. (MD/PhD/DO/JD/MBA/DBA)

Course number means nothing, as what is "bio 101" at one school could be the first course in the sequence for bio majors, while at another school it could be "bio for non-majors" or some such. The former would count for your med school pre reqs, the latter would not. As long as it is the "pre-med" course, whatever that happens to be at your school, the course number doesn't matter, and it is what you should be taking for med school.
 
Are you serious

Sarcasm. Friendly advice: If you haven't gathered already, people are turned off by somebody creating a thread about how well they did in a class. By all means post it on your fridge, tell your grandma, buy yourself a dinner at chucky cheese. But dont post that here and expect a bunch of strung out premeds (many who are in the middle of the app cycle) to be thrilled. It does not prove anything, what matters for admissions is your overall GPA, mcat and ECs. Congratulations, but remember next time do like the rest and utilize the humblebrag. It is the height of premed culture. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=humblebrag

He who must not be names shames us all haha
 
Your radar is tingling?

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: I apologize for the rather awkward usage of my words.

My gunner radar and sarcasm detectors both exploded while reading this thread.

👍👍

This HAS to be a troll

Great. Now the poor, insulted OP will ditch this thread and watch how all of us criticize him... and create a new provoking thread that would cause us to fight among ourselves, while he walks away laughing.

"Hey guys, I just got my grades for the semester back. I got a 104 in gen bio, and while I'm pretty happy with that, I wasn't really interested in the material. Is this a sign that I shouldn't become a doctor?"

(sent from my phone)
 
The Bio 101 at my school is for non-science majors....The other bio class for bio major on the other hand.....(shivers) I remember the first test was on 10 chapters
