Long story short, struggled freshman year as a pre-med trying to balance classes and D1 athletics while also missing 3 weeks of class due to Mono (C's in intro Bio I and II and Chem I and II). Rebounded well sophomore year and onward (besides C's in orgo) and ended my final undergrad semester with a 3.9. A's in Biochemistry, Genetics, Physiology, Neurobiology. B's in Cell Biology, Histology and Inorganic Chem. Will need to take/retake 2-4 classes in the next 1-2 years before I apply (depending on the school). My listed GPAs are assuming I get at least a B in those classes just to be conservative, but should get A's.
Any feedback about if my past academic record early in my college career should limit where I apply is greatly appreciated. I am currently researching schools and their specific GPA requirements and admitted student profiles however hearing from any of you would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you!
