Non-science course grades

From my understanding, medical schools look at both cumulative gpa and science gpa. However, do they look at each specific grade for each course for non-science courses? For instance, if I have a couple C's in literature classes but my cumulative gpa is 3.7-3.8 will the C's draw the attention of adcoms? Thanks!

Oh my, you got "a couple" of C's in literature courses. Maybe one you could get away with but two!!!!! (yes, sarcasm)

No one will care about a couple of C's

Thank you for replying! When I said "a couple of C's" I was just giving an example, but I guess what I really wanted to ask was whether they look at specific grades for non-science courses or just the cumulative gpa?

I have asked this question a few times (my non-science GPA is like a 3.3, so it worries me) but was told no one will care if the cGPA and sGPA are bien.

Relax, OP. As long as your academic record is fine otherwise, and your application is written well, a couple C's won't get you rejected.

LOL are you just up super early or pulling an all nighter?
