My declining GPA trend, does this look really bad?

Below is my GPA trendline from all four years. I will be applying this cycle and am worried that adcoms might ask about the decline in my gpa. My cGPA is 3.849 and sGPA is 3.853. Basically, I was getting a 3.9 for the first three years of college and my last semester of senior year was very hectic so my semester GPA was a 3.4 for that semester.

I'm not worried about my GPA but worried about the trend that it shows because it may be interpreted as a student with "senioritis." My high school GPA has a similar trend, I always do bad my last semester for some reason (wondering if it looks like I stopped caring towards the end🙁)

Any input about the graphs would be great (ignore the Post bacc GPA):

no

 

[WedgeDawg]

maybe if you were studying instead of making graphs you might still be holding a 3.9

 

[WedgeDawg]

in all seriousness, you're totally fine, that's not a drop in GPA, no one will ask about it, it won't affect your chances at any schools, there is nothing to worry about

True, LOL

 

[ScottTenorman54]

You should be more worried about how the titles of your graphs are all different font sizes. That kind of sloppiness is noticed by adcomms, and does not bode well for your chances of acceptance.

The fact that this post includes graphs made my day LOL.

0/10 troll.

As a teaching moment, if not a troll, anyone this neurotic will get killed by the pressure of med school.

haha yeah who has time for this kind of nonsense haha

 

[AdmiralChz]

Geesh I thought the first two graphs said you had a 0.0 GPA for post-bac stuff. OP - go have a beer (or something stiffer), you'll be completely fine.

 

[kstorm]

I don't think trends matter if your overall is good.

med schools need cadavers too

How is that funny dude? The people that donate their bodies to medical schools deserve to be treated with respect. They shouldn't be the butt end of any joke.

I hate the endless talk of "professionalism" just as much as anyone else, but your comment disgusted me.

Are you asking him to check his "being alive privilege"?

No. I'm asking him to show a modicum of respect for the dead.

No. I'm asking him to show a modicum of respect for the dead.

So I probably shouldn't link you the thread of the guy who took the head of a cadaver and pretended to wear it like a mask during anatomy lab? It's on sdn somewhere and probably top 10 most rediculous things I've read

 

[aprilfools]

There's always someone to be butthurt about something.

 

[hungrybox]

it was in context of @Goro comment on med school killing him. And if it does then cadaver would fit now wouldnt it? dont be so stressed in this process I think is the point that I am trying to make. Its called humor

"It's just a prank bro"

 

[aprilfools]

"It's just a prank bro"

He made a joke on a forum on the INTERNET he didn't ****ing waterboard someone relax

 

[WunderMay]

I love this thread.

Please continue.

 

[aprilfools]

isnt waterboarding allowed again under the new administration

Hahaha kind of besides the point.

 

[PKU]

I would assume declining meant a drop in every consecutive semester.

But to OP's point, yes it does look bad. I suggest Caribbean schools.

 

[Fdsa2495]

Well I guess my stress about all this is over now for sure

I think this is what you're referring to, though he certainly didn't wear the cadaver's face as a mask haha that might be an exaggeration

Thank you lol
All stories get exaggerated in my head while they sit there for months

Maybe you can send the graphs to your med schools for their opinion? If this doesn't get their attention nothing will. 😉
